White Chocolate Mousse as the title suggests, is very easy to make, and would be a prefer creamy deserts. This mousse is a light, fluffy and elegant dessert, perfectly sized in single serving cups so you don’t have to share yours! A rich sweet treat that is soft like a cloud, and served cold from the fridge. It’s the perfect finish to any meal.

I prefer the mousse cold, straight from the fridge, because its so refreshing, sweet and delicious. I served mine in ice cream cups, and I got exactly 2 servings from the recipe. Also, what I like about this easy white chocolate mousse is that the recipe is versatile. For example, you can make it in ice cream glasses as I did, or you can use the filling to make a mousse cake. Also, you can play with the flavors as you want, you can add some fresh raspberries for a beautiful pink and summery dessert. This is a base recipe, that can be adjusted to meet your needs and to satisfy your taste.
