Layered with cake, white chocolate mousse, and fresh raspberries this no-bake trifle is totally luscious! Bursting with delicious sweet-tart flavors from fresh raspberries and white chocolate this No-Bake White Chocolate Mousse and Raspberry Trifle is a summer must-have dessert. Quick, easy and to make, too.
Ingredients
- 7 oz good quality white chocolate
- 1 ¾ cups heavy or double cream, divided
- 3 tbsp confectioners or icing sugar plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp fresh orange or lemon Juice
- 3-4 cups fresh raspberries plus a few extra for garnish
- 1 angel food cake or vanilla pound cake, sliced into cubes (there may be extra left)
Instructions
- In a small pan over simmering water, melt the white chocolate with 1/4 cup heavy cream. Stir until smooth. Set aside and let cool.
- Beat the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream until soft peaks form. Slowly add the confectioner's sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold the cooled white chocolate into the whipped cream. This is your white chocolate mousse.
- Combine the orange or lemon juice with the sugar. Gently toss the raspberries with the sugar and juice.
- Layer the trifle beginning with half the white chocolate mousse at the bottom. Add 2 layers of the cubed cake. Spread the raspberry mixture all over and top with the remaining white chocolate mousse. Or, if you wish to do more layers, divide the cake and raspberry mixture into 2 portions and the white chocolate mousse into 3 portions with the third portion of the chocolate mousse as topping. Follow the same order as stated. You can also do this in individual glasses. Chill at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Garnish with extra fresh raspberries on top and dust with some icing sugar, if desired. May be served with extra whipped or pouring cream on top! Delicious.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Instead of raspberries, you may use strawberries.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle the cubed cake with a little sherry or white/rose wine.
- Before whipping the cream chill the mixer and beater(s). If you wish to double each layer, use at least 4 cups of raspberries or strawberries.
