Step 1: Prepare the Raspberry Coulis

  1. Cook the Raspberries: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer over low heat for 5–7 minutes until the mixture softens.

  2. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks.
  3. Combine: Fold the whipped cream gently into the melted chocolate until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix.


Step 3: Assemble the Mousse

  1. Layering: In a clear glass, add a layer of raspberry coulis. Spoon or pipe the white chocolate mousse on top. Repeat if desired for a layered effect.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
