Easter White Chocolate Mousse

So I had a brilliant idea this year for Easter! I didn't feel like dyeing eggs, and my littles (my nickname for my 5 and 10 years old) told me they…

Easter White Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

  • 8 ozs white chocolate, melted
  • 4 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 4 egg yolks and whites, separated
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
  • 4 Tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. 1.

    Melt chocolate and butter. Set aside.

  2. 2.

    Whisk in egg yolks. Combine well.

  3. 3.

    In a stand mixer, combine the egg whites and the cream of tarter. Whip on medium until soft peaks begin to form.

  4. 4.

    Slowly add white sugar, whip on high until stiff peaks form. (Be sure the sugar is dissolved.)

  5. 5.

    Fold stiffened egg whites into the chocolate mixture 1/3 at a time. Fold gently, do not stir (or you will collapse the air from the egg whites). Fold/mix until mostly combined.

  6. 6.

    Whisk heavy whipping cream until foamy.

  7. 7.

    Pour foamy whipping cream into mixture. Fold together and combine well.

  8. 8.

    Place in cupcake holder and set in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. They will not get firm, but they will set.

  9. 9.

    Enjoy!
