Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped Rich and creamy, the base of this mousse adds a luxurious feel.
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream Provides a rich, silky texture that elevates the mousse.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the sweetness of the chocolate, creating a harmonious flavor.
For the Raspberry Layer
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries Tart and vibrant, they provide a refreshing contrast to the mousse.
  • 1 tbsp sugar A touch of sweetness balances out the tartness of the raspberries.
  • 1 tsp lemon juice Brightens the berry layer and enhances the overall flavor profile.
For Assembly
  • 0.25 cups crushed graham crackers or biscuits Optional: Adds a delightful crunch and depth to the parfait.
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries For garnish, adding a pop of freshness.

Method
 

Make the White Chocolate Mousse
  1. Begin by melting the white chocolate. Use a double boiler or microwave it at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate along with the vanilla extract until everything is well-combined.
Prepare the Raspberry Layer
  1. In a small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring gently until the raspberries soften and the mixture becomes slightly syrupy. Allow to cool.
Assemble the Parfait
  1. Layer the crushed graham crackers (if using) in serving glasses, followed by the raspberry mixture, and then the white chocolate mousse. Repeat the layers until the glasses are full.
  2. Cover the parfaits and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serve
  1. Garnish each parfait with fresh raspberries before serving.

Notes

Allow the white chocolate to cool before folding it into the whipped cream to avoid deflating the cream. Experiment with mint leaves or other berries for variations.
