Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream divided
- 6 ounces white chocolate chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- 1 tablespoon crushed candy canes for topping
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 cup cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until steaming.
- Remove from the heat, and add the chopped chocolate without stirring. Let it sit for 2 minutes, and then gently stir until the chocolate is fully melted. Stir in the peppermint extract. Pour the mixture into a bowl.
- Cool completely, about 10 minutes in the freezer, stirring once halfway through. Once cooled, whisk the mixture until it starts to thicken.
- In a large bowl, beat the remaining 1/2 cup cream to stiff peaks.
- Whisk 1/3 of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture 1/3 at a time.

- Serve chilled. Right before serving, sprinkle the crushed candy on top.
Notes
- Chill the mousse well before serving.
- Adjust peppermint extract to your taste.
