Ingredients
For the sauce
1 & 1/2cupsfresh raspberries
3tablespoonsgranulated sugar
1 & 1/2teaspoonslemon juice
For the mousse
2cupsheavy cream, divided
3tablespoonspowdered sugar
1teaspoonvanilla
4ounces(1 cup) white chocolate chips
Instructions
Make the sauce: place 1 & 1/2 cups raspberries, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 & 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat; mash with the back of a wooden spoon.
Transfer the mixture to fine-mesh sieve or strainer with tiny holes, over a bowl.
Press out all the juice and then place the liquid in refrigerator until chilled.
Make the mousse: Place 1 & 3/4 cups of heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl.
Using a hand held electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form, 2-3 minutes. (Don't over-beat or it will be clumpy.)
Put 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream in a medium sized, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing, until chocolate is melted.
Fold 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 2 hours. Serve and enjoy!
