Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 150 g graham cracker crumbs
- 80 g unsalted butter, melted
For the Mousse Filling
- 200 g white chocolate, chopped
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- 50 g powdered sugar
For the Garnish
- 100 g fresh raspberries
- 30 ml caramel sauce
- Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with the melted unsalted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture firmly into tartlet molds or a tartlet pan to form the crusts. Place the crusts in the refrigerator to chill and set for 20 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate: Using a double boiler, gently melt the chopped white chocolate until smooth, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and allow the chocolate to cool slightly but remain pourable.
- Whip the cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; the cream should be light and airy.
- Make mousse filling: Beat the softened cream cheese together with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually fold the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined. Then gently fold in the whipped cream in batches, maintaining the light texture of the mousse.
- Assemble the tartlets: Spoon or pipe the white chocolate mousse evenly into the prepared crusts, smoothing the top gently with a spatula if necessary.
- Garnish: Top each tartlet with fresh raspberries, drizzle with caramel sauce, and optionally decorate with edible flowers to enhance appearance and add elegance.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted gently over a double boiler to prevent seizing or burning.
- Soften cream cheese to room temperature for easier blending and smoother mousse texture.
- Chill the crust before filling to ensure it holds its shape when mousse is added.
- Edible flowers add a beautiful aesthetic but are optional.
- These tartlets should be refrigerated and served chilled for best flavor and texture.
