White chocolate mousse with lace tuiles
For a summery dessert, try this recipe for creamy white chocolate mousse with sweet summer fruit and crispy lace tuiles.

Ingredients (9)

  • 300g good-quality white chocolate
  • 2 gold-strength gelatine leaves
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 2 tbs pure icing sugar, sifted
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 250g thick Greek-style yoghurt
  • 500ml good-quality raspberry sorbet
  • Seasonal fruits (we used sliced mango, raspberries and blackberries)
  • Mint leaves and lace tuiles, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don’t let bowl touch water). Remove from heat and stir until smooth. Cool slightly.
  • 2.
    Soak gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
  • 3.
    Place 100ml cream in a small pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
  • 4.
    Squeeze excess water from gelatine, then stir gelatine into cream until combined. Cool.
  • 5.
    Whisk the icing sugar and remaining 200ml cream to soft peaks.
  • 6.
    Add egg yolks to warm chocolate, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 7.
    Fold in the gelatine mixture, then fold in whipped cream and yoghurt. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggwhites to soft peaks, then gently fold into the white chocolate mixture until combined. Spoon mixture into a 20cm cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 4 hours or overnight until set.
  • 8.
    Place scoops of sorbet in serving glasses. Top with a scoop of mousse, scatter with fruit and mint leaves, and serve with a lace tuile on the side.
