RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE
Steps:
- Make the white chocolate mousse:
- In a bowl whisk together well the yolks, the sugar, and a pinch of salt, add the cornstarch, sifted, and whisk the mixture until it is just combined. Add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking, transfer the mixture to a heavy saucepan, and boil it, whisking, for 1 minute, or until it is very thick and smooth. Strain the pastry cream through a fine sieve into a bowl, stir in vanilla and the butter, and chill the pastry cream, its surface covered with plastic wrap, until it is cooled completely. In a metal bowl set over barely simmering water melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally, and let it cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl whisk together the white chocolate and 1 cup of the pastry cream, reserving the remaining pastry cream for the raspberry mousse, until the mixture is combined well. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, whisk one fourth of it into the white chocolate mixture, and fold in the remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
- Line the sides of an oiled 9 1/2-inch springform pan as smoothly as possible with pieces of plastic wrap (the plastic wrap prevents the filling from discoloring and makes unmolding the cake easier), letting the excess hang over the side, and put an 8-inch cardboard round in the bottom of the pan. Invert the top layer of the génoise onto the round, brush the cake with some of the framboise, and spread it evenly with half the white chocolate mousse (about 2 cups). Invert the middle layer of the génoise onto the mousse, brush it with some of the remaining framboise, and chill the cake and the remaining white chocolate mousse while preparing the raspberry mousse.
- Make the raspberry mousse:
- In a blender or food processor purée the raspberries with the reserved syrup and strain the purée through a fine sieve set over a metal bowl, pressing hard on the solids. In a small saucepan sprinkle the gelatin over the framboise and let it soften for 1 minute. Heat the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the gelatin is dissolved and whisk it into the purée. Whisk the reserved pastry cream into the raspberry mixture, whisking until it is smooth, set the bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water, and whisk the mixture until it is the consistency of raw egg white. Remove the bowl from the ice water and in a bowl with an electric mixer beat the heavy cream until it holds soft peaks. Whisk one fourth of the whipped cream into the raspberry mixture and fold in the remaining whipped cream gently but thoroughly.
- Spread about 1 cup of the raspberry mousse evenly over the middle layer of génoise in the pan, arrange some of the raspberries neatly around the edge of the pan, and continue to arrange the raspberries in concentric circles until the surface of the mousse is covered. Spread the remaining raspberry mousse over the raspberries, invert the third layer of génoise onto the mouse, and brush it with the remaining framboise. Spread the remaining white chocolate mousse over the génoise (the pan will be completely full) and chill the cake, its surface covered with a sheet of wax paper, for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove the side of the pan, peel the plastic wrap carefully from the side of the cake, and transfer the cake with a spatula to a serving plate.
- Garnish the cake:
- Arrange some of the raspberries around the top edge of the cake, mound the white chocolate curls in the center, and garnish the bottom edge of the cake with the remaining raspberries and the mint sprigs.
- Make the white chocolate génoise:
- Line the bottom of a greased 8 1/2-inch springform pan with wax paper, grease the paper, and dust the pan with flour, knocking out the excess. In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the white chocolate with the butter, the vanilla, and 3 tablespoons water, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool. Into a bowl sift together the flour and the salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat the eggs with the sugar on high speed for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is triple in volume and forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until the batter is just combined and fold in the white chocolate mixture gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing the top, and bake the cake in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack, run a sharp knife around the edge, and remove the side of the pan. Invert the cake onto another rack and remove the wax paper. Reinvert the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely.

- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer until frothy and airy, then mix in the sugar slowly. Beat until lemon-colored and fluffy.
- Heat the cream in a pot over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, then slowly mix in half of the cream with the eggs - being sure to not cook the eggs by pouring too much cream inside before it's mixed.
- Pour the warm creamy egg mixture into the pot with the rest of the cream and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon without dripping off too much.

LISA'S WHITE CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY MOUSSE CAKE
I first made this recipe for my mother in law's birthday - and now almost every time a birthday rolls around in my family, I get a request for this cake. It is quite a bit of work, but when you taste it, it's worth it! I recommend making the mousse the night before, so it has enough time to set.

Steps:
- For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease and flour 2 round 8" pans.
- Beat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk and vanilla in a large mixing bowl on low speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, for about 30 seconds.
- Then, beat on high speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add egg whites; beat on high speed 2 minutes longer.
- Fold in white chocolate.
- Pour into pans.
- Bake until wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean- 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow cakes to cool completely, and then carefully slice each in half, lengthwise.
- For the Mousse (I recommend making the night before): Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Set aside.
- Puree fresh strawberries.
- Place the berries in a small saucepan, add the preserves, and cook over medium heat (stirring constantly) until thickened, or just before boiling.
- Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
- Fold into melted chocolate.
- Allow the strawberry chocolate mixture to cool until tepid.
- Then gently fold in whipped cream, followed by gently folding in egg whites.
- Cover and refrigerate 8 hours.
- For the Icing: In a medium saucepan, combine melted chocolate and flour.

- Cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter and vanilla.
- Beat until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add completely cooled chocolate mixture.
- Beat until well blended, but DO NOT over beat, or it will become runny.
- To Assemble Cake: Spread set mousse between layers of cake (there will be three layers of mousse).
- Make sure not to have any mousse leaking out of the sides, or it will make icing the cake difficult.
- After the mousse is between the layers, put the cake in the freezer.
- In the meantime, melt the 3 ounces of chocolate.
- Arrange the thinly sliced strawberries on a pan that has been covered with saran wrap.
- Drizzle the chocolate in thin ribbons, in all directions over the strawberries, until they are nicely covered (but not completely).
- Take the cake out of the freezer, and place the pan of strawberries in the freezer.
- Ice the cake generously with the white chocolate icing using a spatula, so it forms soft peaks all over the cake.
- Once the cake is completely iced, take the strawberries out of the freezer.

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.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and set aside. Beat the yolks with the 2 tablespoons of sugar with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Stream in the melted chocolate at low speed.
- Dissolve the gelatin in the warmed liquor and stream slowly, along with the coffee, into the chocolate mixture at low speed. Transfer the mixture into a stainless steel bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar to a stiff meringue with an electric mixer. In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream until firm. Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect mousse texture, make sure the chocolate and cream are at the right temperatures. The chocolate should be slightly warm (around 115°F) and the cream should be cold (around 35°F).
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse will taste. Choose a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help to incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
Conclusion:
White chocolate mousse is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on any occasion. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just for a weeknight treat, this mousse is sure to please.
