This easy creamy White Chocolate Mousse is made even better with an easy delicate peach topping. A delicious anytime dessert that can be made ahead of time. A refreshing light no bake dessert that everyone will love.
In the summer time I think we are all looking for a no bake simple dessert. And since its peach season, I thought why not a peach mousse? And what goes better with peaches than white chocolate. This no egg simple mousse is something everyone will love.
How to make it
Melt the white chocolate either using bain-marie or microwave, set aside to let cool. Beat the cold whipped cream and sugar until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the cooled melted white chocolate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
How to make a peach sauce
In a medium pot add the chopped peaches, sugar, water and corn starch, stir to combine. Cook on medium heat stirring often until mixture is thick and syrupy. Transfer to a clean bowl and let cool.
Putting it together
In 3-4 medium glasses start layering first with a tablespoon or two of the cooked peaches, then top with the chocolate mousse, I made 5 layers (3 peach and 2 mousse), but depending on your glass you can layer how you wish. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
What is bain-marie?
It is basically a fancy french term for a hot water bath. To do this, place a pot with water on the burner and a plate on top with the ingredient that needs to be melted or heated. If you are melted chocolate be sure that the water in the pot does not touch the bottom of the dish. Heat the water to a slow boil and stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
Can you use canned peaches?
Yes you can, just be sure to drain them and I would probably use a little less sugar.
How to store it
Be sure to store the mousse in the fridge, either covered in plastic or in an air tight container. It will last up to 3-4 days.
