Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 150 g graham cracker crumbs
- 80 g unsalted butter, melted
Mousse Filling
- 200 g white chocolate, chopped
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- 50 g powdered sugar
Toppings
- 100 g fresh raspberries
- 30 ml caramel sauce
- Edible flowers (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into tartlet pans or silicone molds to form the crust base. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set and firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate. Using a double boiler setup, gently melt the chopped white chocolate, stirring frequently to avoid overheating. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while preparing the other components.
- Whip the heavy cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture. Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold in the slightly cooled white chocolate until well combined, then gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, airy mousse.
- Fill the tartlets. Pipe or spoon the white chocolate mousse evenly into the chilled graham cracker crusts, smoothing the tops if needed.
- Decorate and chill. Garnish the tartlets with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and edible flowers if using. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to set fully.
Notes
- Make sure the white chocolate is cooled but still pourable to avoid melting the whipped cream.
- Use softened but not melted cream cheese for a smooth mousse texture.
- Chilling the crust before filling helps maintain its crispness.
- These tartlets can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Edible flowers add elegant decoration but are optional.
