Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional for layers)
- Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Prepare the mascarpone mixture by beating the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the cooled, melted white chocolate into the mascarpone mixture, mixing gently to maintain the airy texture.
- Fold in the whipped heavy cream carefully to combine without deflating.
- Optional layer: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs at the bottom of each glass if desired.
- Layer the mousse by spooning it into each glass alternately with fresh raspberries until filled, with mousse on top.
- Garnish the parfaits with fresh raspberries and sprigs of mint.
- Serve and enjoy after refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding almond extract to the mascarpone mixture or using high-quality white chocolate.
