Ingredients

  • 8 oz white chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mascarpone for extra tang and creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar adjust to your sweetness level
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: extra strawberry slices or berries for garnish

Instructions

  • Melt the white chocolate gently. Use a microwave in 20-second bursts or a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly so you don’t cook the cream gods.
  • Whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Don’t overdo it; we’re aiming for fluffy not butter. Add the vanilla and a pinch of salt for balance.
  • Fold in the Greek yogurt or mascarpone to lighten the base. A gentle turn, not a facial assault—let the mixture stay airy.
  • Stir the cooled white chocolate into the creamy base. If you’ve waited long enough, you’ll hear a sigh of satisfaction in the kitchen.
  • Sweeten with powdered sugar to taste. Remember: you can always add more, but you can’t take it out once it’s in. Taste as you go.
  • Gently fold in sliced strawberries. You want pockets of strawberry brightness, not a strawberry mudslide.
  • Divide into serving dishes and chill for at least 2 hours. This is the part where patience earns dessert. Pro tip: refrigerate overnight for maximum mousse vibes.
