WHITE CHOCOLATE MINT MOUSSE
I am not normally much of a white chocolate person, but the peppermint seems to eradicate its lethal richness. Nevertheless, my nephew did say of it, when I let him have some for a birthday treat, that it was like being able to eat the icing without having the cake. He wasn't speaking figuratively. And because it is rich and sweet, I serve it in uncharacteristically small portions. As they say in showbiz, always good to leave 'em wanting more.

Steps:
- Put the pieces of white chocolate in a bowl, and sit this bowl over a pan over simmering water until it melts, stirring gently with a spatula every now and then. When it's melted, stand the bowl on a cold surface to cool down a little.
- In another bowl, and using an electric handheld whisk for ease, whip the cream, egg white and extract together. You want soft peaking rather than a stiff mixture.
- Put a big dollop of cream onto the slightly cooled chocolate and mix, and then gently fold the chocolate mixture into the cream.
- Divide mixture between 6 small but perfectly formed glasses with a capacity of 60ml/ 1/4-cup each.
- Chill in the fridge or give them a fast icy zap but sitting them in the deep freeze for 10 or 15 minutes. Decorate top with a mint leaf before serving.
WHITE-CHOCOLATE-MINT MOUSSE
A very simple, very delicious mousse. I serve it in individual goblets, garnished with fresh mint, or, if there's time, mint leaves brushed with egg white and coated with confectioner's sugar and frozen. Or, even fancier, paint mint leaves with melted dark chocolate, chill, then peel off the mint leaves--you have delicate dark chocolate leaves for garnish.

Steps:
- Have ready a serving bowl with at least a 6-cup capacity.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, place 1/2 cup of the cream and the butter and heat until the mixture is hot and the butter melts. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the white chocolate and let it soften in the hot cream mixture for about 30 seconds. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all of the white chocolate melts.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool to the touch but still pourable, about 30 minutes.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, mix the remaining 2 cups of cold cream, vanilla, mint extract and the cooled white-chocolate mixture on low speed to blend the ingredients.
- Increase the speed to medium high and beat until firm peaks form, about 1 minute.
- Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day. When ready to serve, either leave in the serving bowl or spoon into individual serving bowls/goblets, garnish with the white-chocolate shavings and mint leaves and serve cold.

Tips:
- For a richer mousse, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of folding in the whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Before serving, fold in the whipped cream and pipe or spoon the mousse into serving dishes.
- For a more intense mint flavor, use peppermint extract instead of vanilla extract.
- To make a chocolate mint mousse, add 1/2 cup of melted semisweet chocolate to the melted white chocolate.
- For a festive presentation, garnish the mousse with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings.
