Divine Chocolate's White Chocolate Bar
The dogs days of summer have once again set their paws upon the city of Chicago. It is really hot and humid. I’m really enjoying it, because if you know Chicago weather, it can change at the drop of a hat. One day int he 70s and the next day we can see snow flurries. I kid you not. When I went to the farmer’s market on Sunday, there were still lots of goods to be had by all. I stocked up on berries as I’m going to start freezing them for the winter. Once I got them home, I remembered that I had some Divine Chocolate fair Trade White Chocolate stored away for a rainy day. Hmmm…how about a hot, humid day? Same emergency! This recipes is one of my favorites. I adore mousse. Not a white chocolate fan? You will be. This recipe can be made in a matter of minutes. I suggest topping this White Chocolate Mousse with any kind of berries. I like to mix it up to add even more color and dimension. My niece proclaimed the dessert looked like Christmas. So it did… Enjoy, stay cool and enjoy the weather.
White Chocolate Mousse
Serves 8-10
Ingredients:
¾ cup granulated sugar
4 large egg whites
1 pound white chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
Combine sugar and water. Stir until dissolved. Cook unstirred to hard ball stage (255 degrees). Whip egg whites, then slowly add sugar water. Beat in chocolate. It will partially melt. Cool to lukewarm and fold in whipped cream. Put in one medium serving bowl or 8-10 glass cups depending on size. Chill at least 4 hours.
Serve top with lots of berries and a shake of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream if you’d like.
White Chocolate Mousse
It says combine sugar and water but doesn’t say how much water…?
Wow, that looks amazing. I have to admit that I have never made chocolate mousse because I thought it was too difficult. (I am more of a cook) Thanks for the recipe and encouragement. Maybe I will work up the nerve to try it.
