Ingredients

For the mousse

• 200 gr quality white chocolate
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 250 ml heavy cream

If you don't have dessert white chocolate, you can use a bar of white chocolate for baking that you'll find in most supermarkets. It's important that it's good quality to achieve that Pearly Flavor characteristic of this Chocolate Cloud.

Utensils we will use

• Pot or saucepan for double boiler
• Bowl or container for beating
• Electric or manual mixer
• Spoon or spatula for mixing
• Individual glasses or cups for serving
• Kitchen thermometer (optional)

Preparation

1. Melt the white chocolate

1. Place the white chocolate chopped in a heat-resistant bowl.
2. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a pot with water and bring it to medium heat until it gently boils.
3. Place the bowl with chocolate on top of the pot without touching the water, and stir constantly with a spatula to prevent the chocolate from burning.
4. When the chocolate is melted and with a homogeneous mixture, remove the bowl and let it cool to room temperature so that the temperature drops a little without it hardening.

2. Whip the cream

1. In a cold bowl, pour the very cold heavy cream.
2. With an electric or manual mixer, beat until it reaches a firm chantilly point. This means that if you lift the beaters, the cream will form soft peaks that hold their shape.

3. Prepare the meringue

1. In another clean and dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
2. When the egg whites start to be foamy, add the sugar little by little without stopping beating.
3. Continue beating until you get a meringue that is shiny, firm but not dry, that maintains its structure when you turn the bowl upside down.

4. Integrate the mixtures

1. Pour the melted chocolate over the whipped cream.
2. With folding movements and a spatula, mix gently so as not to lose air.
3. Incorporate the meringue of egg whites in two stages to maintain the airy texture.
4. Continue with folding movements until you get a homogeneous and fluffy mixture, avoiding beating abruptly.

5. Rest and presentation

1. Distribute the mixture into individual cups or glasses.
2. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for it to reach the ideal consistency.
3. Decorate to taste with red berries such as strawberries or raspberries, or lemon zest to add contrast to the Sweet White.

To finish and serve

Before serving, check that the mousse has a light but firm texture. You can add a few almond slivers or powdered sugar to give it a final touch that enhances the presentation and flavors. Serve very cold to fully enjoy the Sweet Temptation that this recipe proposes.
