White Chocolate Mousse with Kirsch
- 9 ounces white chocolate cut into very small pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons Kirschwasser
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Place chocolate, water, and Kirschwasser in a medium size heatproof bowl.
- Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a wide skillet.
- Turn the heat off and wait 30 seconds.
- Set bowl of chocolate in pan of water.
- Stir white chocolate mixture constantly until melted and smooth.
- Or, melt in a microwave on low for about 2 minutes.
- Stir until smooth and completely melted.
- White chocolate is very fragile and burns easily.
- Do not turn the heat on again under the skillet unless absolutely necessary.
- Let cool until a dab touched by your upper lip feels slightly cool.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form--not too stiff.
- Carefully fold cream into cooled white chocolate mixture; the mousse will seem very soft.
- Scrape mold immediately into lined mold.
- Mousse sets quickly and should not be spread or manipulated too much after it is completed.
