Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this dreamy parfait:

For the mousse:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (divided)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
For the raspberry layer:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of your berries)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For assembly:
- Extra fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings for garnish

Steps to Heavenly Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse Parfait

Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting the white chocolate chips. This can easily be done using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Just keep an eye on it—nobody wants burnt chocolate in their life!
Whip Cream: While your white chocolate is cooling down, grab a mixing bowl and whip 1 cup of heavy cream with the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. It should be fluffy and oh-so-deliciously inviting.
Combine: Once your chocolate has cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream. Be gentle here—this mousse is all about maintaining that airy texture!
Prep the Raspberries: In another bowl, toss your fresh raspberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to let the magic happen (hello, raspberry syrup!).
Layer It Up: Now comes the fun part! Grab your cutest parfait glasses or any clear containers you have. Start with a layer of the white chocolate mousse, followed by a layer of the raspberry mixture. Repeat until you reach the top.
Garnish: Lastly, let your artistic side shine! Top with fresh raspberries and white chocolate shavings.
Chill: Pop the parfaits in the fridge for at least an hour (if you can wait!) to let those flavors mingle.

Cooking Tips

No Fresh Raspberries? Feel free to use frozen ones! Just make sure to thaw them and drain excess liquid.
Make-Ahead Magic: You can prepare the mousse and raspberry layer a day in advance. Just assemble the parfait before serving!
Picky Eaters? If your family isn’t fond of white chocolate, you could switch it up with milk or dark chocolate. But let’s not kid ourselves—white chocolate is pure bliss in this recipe!
