Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 150 g graham cracker crumbs
- 80 g unsalted butter, melted
Mousse Filling
- 200 g white chocolate, chopped
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- 50 g powdered sugar
Toppings
- 100 g fresh raspberries
- 30 ml caramel sauce
- Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into tartlet molds or a tartlet pan to form the crust. Chill the crusts in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Melt the white chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the chopped white chocolate over simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly, ensuring it remains pourable but not hot.
- Whip the cream: In a clean bowl, whip the heavy cream with a mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as it should be light and fluffy.
- Prepare the mousse base: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the slightly cooled melted white chocolate until fully combined.
- Combine mousse ingredients: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate and cream cheese mixture in batches, maintaining the light texture of the mousse.
- Assemble tartlets: Pipe or spoon the mousse mixture into the chilled graham cracker crusts, filling each tartlet evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate the mousse tartlets with fresh raspberries, a light drizzle of caramel sauce, and edible flowers if using. Chill briefly if desired before serving to ensure the mousse is set.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
- You can prepare the tartlets a few hours ahead and refrigerate to allow the mousse to fully set.
- If you don’t have edible flowers, fresh mint leaves or extra raspberries also make great garnishes.
- Ensure the melted white chocolate is not too hot before folding into the cream cheese to prevent curdling.
- Chilling the crust before adding the mousse helps it maintain structure and prevents sogginess.
