Ingredients
  

200g white chocolate, chopped

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 large egg whites

A pinch of salt

Fresh berries (for garnish)

Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and unsalted butter. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in 20-second bursts until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Prepare the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; the cream should be fluffy but not turning to butter.

      Whip the Egg Whites: In another bowl, using clean beaters, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks. This step adds airiness to the mousse, making it light and dreamy.

        Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture using a spatula. Start with a small amount of whipped cream to lighten the chocolate, then gradually fold in the rest. Next, gently fold in the whipped egg whites until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

          Chill the Mousse: Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set and chilled.

            Serve: Once chilled, remove from the fridge. Optionally, top with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream before serving for an extra touch of elegance.
