Ingredients

  • 90 g – 3 oz white chocolate – chopped
  • 80 ml – ⅓ cup heavy cream – for melting
  • 100 ml – ⅖ cup chilled heavy cream – for whipping
  • 1 –2 drops peppermint extract or 1 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
  • a few drops green food colouring – adjusted to your desired shade

Optional Toppings

  • whipped cream
  • fresh mint leaves
  • green sprinkles
  • chocolate shamrocks

Instructions

  1. Whip the 100 ml – ⅖ cup chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.

  2. In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate with 80 ml – ⅓ cup heavy cream, either in the microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth, then let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted white chocolate mixture until smooth and airy.
  4. Add the peppermint extract or finely chopped mint and a few drops of green food colouring. Fold gently until the colour is evenly distributed. Adjust the colour if needed.
  5. Spoon the mousse into small serving glasses or dessert jars.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until set.
  7. Just before serving, decorate with whipped cream, mint leaves, green sprinkles, or chocolate shamrocks.
