Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound white chocolate (valhrona)
4 ounces heavy cream
1-ounce sweet butter
1 1/2 egg yolk
3 1/4 ounces heavy cream, warm
22 1/2 ounces heavy cream whipped, soft peaked
12 broken pieces chocolate phyllo (recipe follows)
4 ounces raspberry sauce
4 mint sprigs and fresh raspberries for garnish
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pound butter
1 cup cocoa powder (brut)
5 sheets phyllo pastry dough
8 ounces granulated sugar (approximately)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Reserve at room temperature. In a saucepan, add 4 ounces heavy cream and 1-ounce butter, heat until butter is melted. Reserve. In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and whisk in the heavy cream and butter mixture, whisk until blended well. Then pour back into saucepan. Place on a low heat, heat until it thickens, be careful not to boil and not to curdle the yolks (making a creme anglaise). Let cool. Place the chocolate into a mixer with a paddle blade, add the creme anglaise, add the warm heavy cream, whip until cool. Fold in the soft peak cream until smooth (about 15 seconds). Place in a tightly covered plastic container, refrigerate overnight. Serve with crispy phyllo and raspberry sauce.;
  • In food processor, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Process to blend. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Transfer to a sealed container. The sauce may be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days, or frozen up to a month.;
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a saucepan melt the butter. Remove from the heat and stir in cocoa powder. Take a sheet of phyllo pastry dough and brush with butter/cocoa mixture. Then sprinkle with granulated sugar and add another sheet of phyllo on top. Continue to layer the phyllo and brush with butter/cocoa mixture until 5 layers have been assembled. Place the phyllo layers between 2 pieces of parchment, then sandwich the paper/phyllo between 2 sheet pans. Place in oven and bake for 9 minutes or until crisp. May take longer in a conventional oven. Remove from the oven and let cool. Then remove the parchment paper and break up the phyllo into abstract pieces. On 4 plates, layer the mousse the phyllo then mousse, etc. until 3 layers are complete. Then drizzle the raspberry sauce around the mousse and garnish mint and fresh raspberrries.

This recipe was a disaster! The mousse was grainy and the chocolate phyllo was soggy. I don't know what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

This mousse was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I would have liked it better with a more tart raspberry sauce.

This mousse was amazing! I loved the combination of white chocolate and raspberry. The chocolate phyllo was a nice touch, but I think it would have been just as good without it.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would have been better off buying a pre-made mousse.

I'm not a fan of white chocolate, but this mousse was surprisingly delicious. The raspberry sauce really helped to balance out the sweetness of the white chocolate.
