Description

A silky and decadent no-bake white chocolate mousse cake layered over a chocolate cookie crust, topped with whipped cream rosettes. Perfect for special occasions or an elegant dessert treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g white chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (for base)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter and press into the base of a springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the white chocolate with milk, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract (and powdered sugar if using) until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the cooled white chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
  5. Pour the mousse over the cookie base and smooth the top. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before serving, decorate with piped whipped cream rosettes and an optional drizzle of extra melted white chocolate.

Notes

  • Ensure the white chocolate mixture is cooled before folding into the whipped cream to prevent melting.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for better whipped cream consistency.
  • Can be made a day in advance for convenience.
