For the Raspberry Sauce
- Raspberries – we recommend fresh berries for best flavor, but frozen raspberries work fine, too.
- Granulated sugar
- Lemon juice
If you want to make our raspberry sauce recipe that includes orange juice and orange liqueur instead, that would be so delicious, also!
For the Mousse
- Heavy cream
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla
- White chocolate chips – Our preference is Ghirardelli for flavor and they seem to melt better than other brands.
How to Make Raspberry Parfaits
These are as simple as whipping up the cheesecake mousse with an electric mixer, preparing the raspberry sauce on the stove, layering the two in parfait glasses, and chilling until ready to serve.

Make Ahead and Proper Storage
- To make the raspberry sauce ahead of time: Allow the sauce to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
- To make the mousse ahead of time: The mousse can be prepped 1 day prior to assembly. Keep covered tightly in the refrigerator.
- Storing assembled parfaits: Parfaits should be kept refrigerated until ready to serve. They can be assembled up to 1 day in advance, but the longer they sit, the whipped cream will start to loosen and become flat.

White Chocolate Raspberry Parfaits
Ingredients
For the sauce
- 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
For the mousse
- 2 cups heavy cream , divided
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup (about 4 ounces) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the sauce: place raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; mash with the back of a wooden spoon. Transfer to fine-mesh sieve or strainer with tiny holes, over a bowl, and press out all the juice. Place in refrigerator.
- Make the mousse: in a large bowl, using a hand held electric mixer, beat 1 3/4 cups of the heavy cream, the powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. (Don't over-beat or it will be clumpy.)
- Put the white chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream in a medium sized, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing, until chocolate is melted. Whisk 1 cup of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate. Then gently fold in the rest until combined.
- Divide half of the mousse among 6 small tumblers; top each with 1 tablespoon of the chilled raspberry sauce and a few raspberries. Repeat with one more layer of the same. Sprinkle with shaved white chocolate, if desired
- Refrigerate until cold; at least 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
Absolutely delish!!
I made these for an evening auction and they were a huge hit.
Sounds so yummy and easy to make, but could it be made with strawberries instead of raspberries. We aren’t big fans of raspberries and strawberries are in the stores here now. How would the recipe be changed? Thanks for your help!!
Hi Leanne – you can absolutely make this with strawberries! But since they down break down as easily as raspberries, I recommend doing a rough chop on them first before simmering. Enjoy!
Thanks so much…..going to the store right now to get strawberries…yummy!!
Yummm, these look amazing!! Definitely an incredible addition to any meal.
They also look fancy enough for EASTER…I may have to rethink my pie plan….
Yum!
White chocolate is my favorite too! This looks great!
It’s been nice partying with you, lady ;)
These are stunning!!!
We LOVED these! Great for the holidays, but also a spring party or a brunch!
These are so lovely!
Delicious rich silky creamy + quick and easy to make!
I’ve been obsessed with white chocolate puddings/parfaits lately and this one looks SO beautiful with the raspberry!
OMG, these look fabulous. And, I’m crying. Again. You all are so sweet. Mommas cry at times. But we feel better when we can have these parfaits. I think I need three of them while we’re getting our hair done. Think warm weather thoughts that day, ok? Love you! xoxo
Raspberries and white chocolate are one of my favorite flavor combos. Cannot wait to make these.
