Tips:
- Make sure the white chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt more evenly and smoothly.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the mousse too stiff and dense.
- Fold the egg whites into the white chocolate mixture gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the mousse less fluffy.

- Serve the mousse with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of lemon zest.
