White Chocolate Mousse Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• Dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; let stand 5 minutes. Place chocolate in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Place 3/4 cup cream in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved, 30 seconds. Pour into food processor with motor running and process until chocolate mixture is smooth.
• Transfer to a medium bowl and place over ice water bath. Chill until mixture is thick enough to fall from a spoon in ribbons.
• Meanwhile, whip remaining 1 3/4 cups cream to soft peaks. Fold into chilled chocolate mixture. If not using immediately, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 day.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form; set aside. , In another bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add chocolate and beat until smooth. , Fold in whipped cream. Alternate layers of mousse and berries in parfait glasses, ending with mousse. Garnish with additional berries if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Process berries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain mixture into a small bowl, and discard seeds. Add the sugar and liqueur, and stir until sugar dissolves. Makes 1 cup of sauce.
• In a heavy saucepan on low heat, warm 1/4 cup of the cream and the white chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate melts. Let mixture cool until it is lukewarm. Stir in 1 tablespoon of raspberry sauce, and the food coloring. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a medium bowl, whip remaining 1 1/2 cup cream to soft peaks. Fold into melted chocolate mixture, one-third at a time, until no streaks remain.
• Layer into parfait dishes, and serve with the sauce. May also be used to fill or ice a cake.

Steps:

• Beat the whipping cream, instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer in a large bowl until soft peaks start to form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the mixture will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
• Fold the whipped topping into the whipping cream mixture to evenly mix. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed about 3 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar.
• Heat 1 cup whipping cream in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat just until hot. Gradually stir at least half of the cream into egg yolk mixture, then stir back into hot cream in saucepan. Cook over low heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens (do not boil).
• Stir in baking chips until melted. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, just until chilled.
• Beat 1 1/2 cups whipping cream in chilled medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff. Fold refrigerated mixture into whipped cream. Spoon mixture into parfait or wine glasses. Garnish with chocolate curls. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 8- or 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. In small bowl, mix cookie crumbs and butter with spoon; press firmly in pan. Bake 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat whipping cream and baking chips over low heat, stirring frequently, until chips are melted. Remove from heat. Cool 5 minutes. In large bowl, beat eggs, sugar and salt with wire whisk until foamy. Pour white baking chip mixture into egg mixture, stirring constantly.
• Pour filling over baked crust. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until center springs back when touched lightly. Cool in pan on cooling rack 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, melt topping ingredients over low heat, stirring frequently.
• Spread topping over bars. Refrigerate uncovered until chilled, about 2 hours. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, place the chopped white chocolate and set aside.
• Add the egg yolks and sugar to a small bowl and whisk until pale in color.
• In a saucepan, over low heat, bring 1/4 cup of the cream to a simmer, and slowly add the cream into the yolk and sugar mixture to temper. Pour the creamy mixture back into pan and stir with a wooden spoon until it coats the back of it.
• Pour hot mix into a fine mesh sieve placed directly over bowl with the chopped chocolate. Stir until completely smooth.
• In another bowl, whip remaining 1 cup of the cream to almost stiff peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the white chocolate mix to lighten and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
• Spoon the white chocolate mousse into 4 serving cups and refrigerate until set, approximately 1 hour.
• Garnish each serving with 3 blackberries and a sprig of mint, if using.

Steps:

• Two days before you plan to serve the dessert, in a small saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat just until it boils. Immediately turn off the heat. Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Strain into another bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and, using a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer, whip it into fluffy, soft peaks. Return to the refrigerator.
• In a clean dry bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the sugar and continue whipping until glossy and stiff, about 30 seconds more. Fold into the white chocolate mixture, and then spoon the mixture (or pipe through a pastry bag) into glasses or chocolate bags.
• Melt chocolate over hot water. Using a thin small clear 4-sided cellophane bag cut the top off to desired height. Un-crease the bag so it stands up and open. Using a paintbrush, coat the inside of the bag well with chocolate. Put in the freezer to set up until very hard, about 30 minutes. Cut the bag a little and pull it away from the chocolate. Store chilled until ready to serve. To serve, fill it with white chocolate mousse then lay it on a plate on its side so it looks like it's spilling over. Garnish it with a cascade of mixed berries and a mint sprig. You can fill it with truffles, too.
• Notes about the recipe: Ganache is a word that we've been seeing on more and more dessert menus. It has a rich, fancy, very French sound, but ganache is essentially just a combination of chocolate and water or cream. Depending on the proportions, the mixture can be used in a variety of ways: as a glaze, a filling, or a candy center, to name just the ways we use it in this book. With enough cream added, it becomes whip-able, and that's the foundation of this white-chocolate mousse. White chocolate is devastatingly popular, but it's also not exactly chocolate. It's mostly cocoa butter, extracted from cocoa beans and enhanced with sugar and vanilla. White chocolate is not the same thing as the "confectionery coating" or "white coating" you see in the market; real white chocolate contains cocoa butter. Note that you'll need two days for making this dessert.

Steps:

• Melt chocolate.
• beat butter until very fluffy.
• Add sugar and beat until very pale.
• It will look white.
• Mix in the warm chocolate.
• Add 2 eggs one at a time and beat until very fluffy.
• NOTE: This recipe contains raw eggs.

Steps:

• Stir white chocolate and 2/3 cup cream in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until chocolate is melted. Transfer chocolate mixture to large bowl. Let stand until mixture is cool and just beginning to thicken, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Beat remaining 1 cup cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into cool chocolate mixture in 2 additions. Cover; chill mousse at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.)

Steps:

• For best results, use a stainless steel bowl and place in the freezer for a minimum of one hour before making the frosting.
• While the bowl is in the freezer, sift together the pudding mix and powdered sugar so that it is well combined.
• Add the whipping cream to the cold bowl.
• Using a mixer, whip for a few minutes until peaks form.
• Add the powdered sugar / pudding mixture a little bit at a time.
• If you are adding color, you can add this now, it is best to use gel coloring.
• Mix frosting until it is thick and it is the consistency to pipe with.
• If it gets too thick add a little bit of milk (1 teaspoon at a time.).
• Be careful to not over mix as the whipping cream will start to separate.
• Happy frosting!
