How To Make lemon white chocolate mousse

  • Step 2
    Combine 1/4 cup of cream and the white chocolate in a mixing bowl over simmering water. Stir mixture until melted and smooth. Cool this white chocolate mixture to room temperature.

    Beat the remaining cream until firm peaks form. Divide the whipped cram between the two mousse bases, folding in 1 cup at a time.
