Easy White Chocolate Mousse with Roasted Strawberries

Smooth, creamy, and rich white chocolate mousse that is super simple - topped with slowly roasted jammy strawberries 

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 2 hours
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup good quality white chocolate, like Valrhona chopped
  • 1 cup plus 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 small pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Roasted Strawberries

  • 2 lbs. fresh strawberries, washed, tops trimmed off, and halved
  • 3 T brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

  2. Place chopped white chocolate and 1/2 c of the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the chocolate melts and totally combined. Set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.

  3. Place the trimmed, halved strawberries on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with the brown sugar, and mix gently with your hands. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the berries are jammy, fragrant, and slightly caramelized. Scoop the berries into a bowl to cool in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

  4. With a handheld mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the remaining 1 cup of cold heavy cream, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks, about 5-7 minutes. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture until totally combined. Scoop the soft mousse into individual serving cups (I use ramekins + mason jars), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 days. 

  5. When you're ready to serve, spoon the roasted strawberries on top, and be prepared to fall in love!
