3. Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Set aside in the fridge.
4. Mix the Mousse Base
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and dissolved gelatin. Mix until fully combined.
- 5. Combine & Set
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mousse mixture until smooth. Pour the mousse over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until set.
