Ingredients

1 1/2 cups heavy cream divided
12 ounces white chocolate chips/morsels, melting wafers, or chopped white chocolate bar
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam or preserves or fruit preserves of choice
Fresh raspberries optional
Shaved or grated dark chocolate optional

Instructions

Heat 3/4 cup of the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until tiny bubbles appear around the edges, but don't bring the cream to a full boil. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted.
Cool to room temperature (about 10 to 15 minutes).
Place the remaining 3/4 cup of cream in a cold mixing bowl (see tip above) and beat with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form.
Fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream. Don't worry if the mousse doesn't seem thick right away, the cold whipped cream will stiffen the melted chocolate-cream mixture.
Spoon half of the mousse into individual dessert bowls or glasses. Top with the raspberry jam. Top with the remaining mousse. Garnish with fresh raspberries and shaved chocolate if desired.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
