  • Whether its Seder night, Yom Tov lunch or time for a treat, these mini white chocolate mousses are the perfect make ahead easy dessert. They can be individually portioned, don’t require any last minute preparations, and look very impressive.
  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 20 minutes
  • Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:

  • 300g white chocolate
  • 300ml double cream
  • ~
  • 3 eggs – separated
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar
  • Seeds of 6 passion fruits
  • Pinch salt
  • 50g caster sugar
  • Garnish:
  • Grated or desiccated coconut
  • Seeds of 2 passion fruits
  • Sprigs of fresh mint

Method

  1. Place the white chocolate and double cream in a bowl, and set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt. Once fully melted, leave to cool for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the egg yolks and caster sugar together with the passion fruit seeds in a saucepan over a medium to low heat, whisking constantly until warm. Then leave to cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form soft peaks. Then add the sugar and whisk again it forms stiff peaks.
  4. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the passion fruit mixture, keeping in as much as air as possible.
  5. Fill 4 glass dishes or wine glasses with the passion fruit mixture, split evenly, then top with the white chocolate mixture. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight – as the white chocolate cools it will set the mixture.
  6. Once set, garnish the top with grated coconut, extra passion fruit seeds and a sprig of fresh mint.
