Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 150 g graham cracker crumbs
- 80 g unsalted butter, melted
Mousse Filling
- 200 g white chocolate, chopped
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- 50 g powdered sugar
Garnish
- 100 g fresh raspberries
- 30 ml caramel sauce
- Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into tartlet pans or molds and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Melt the white chocolate: Gently melt the chopped white chocolate over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly but not harden.
- Whip the cream: Using a hand or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
- Make the mousse base: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate until well combined. Then carefully fold in the whipped cream to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Fill the tartlets: Pipe or spoon the white chocolate mousse into the chilled graham cracker crusts, smoothing the tops if needed.
- Garnish and serve: Decorate each tartlet with fresh raspberries, drizzle with caramel sauce, and add edible flowers if desired for an elegant presentation. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is not too hot when folding into the cream cheese to prevent curdling.
- Chill the tartlets for at least 1 hour before serving for best texture.
- Edible flowers add a beautiful decorative touch but are optional.
- If graham crackers are not available, use digestive biscuits or similar cookies as a substitute.
- For a firmer crust, you can press the crust mixture with the bottom of a glass or spoon before chilling.
