White Chocolate Strawberry Mousse

This SIMPLE White Chocolate Strawberry Mousse is SO delicious, it even made the anchors on Fox News eyes roll into the back of their heads!

I love love love strawberries!  I eat so many that sometimes I wonder if I’m going to turn into Strawberry Shortcake.

After coming home from hoarding purchasing more strawberries, I made one of my very favorite strawberry desserts – Chocolate Covered Strawberries & Cream Pie.  As I was feasting upon one of my very favorite treats, I had the idea for this recipe – a white chocolate strawberry mousse.  And, I have to say…. this is now one of my very very favorite treats.

Let’s start out with one of the base ingredients – white chocolate.  Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips in the microwave in 15 second increments until melted, being careful not to burn.  White chocolate is very tempermental – much like a toddler 😉 Beat the white chocolate in with 1 8oz container of softened cream cheese & 1/2 cup confectioners sugar.

Whip together 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, & 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until thick & creamy.  Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate cream mixture.

Using a gentle stroke again, fold in 1 quart of fresh strawberries that you have hulled & diced.

Divide the magnificence you have just created into 6-8 small ramekins or dishes & refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

Once set, you can garnish with a mint leaf if you want – or just dig on in!
