Ingredients:
- 3 ounces white chocolate
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
- 8 ounces fat-free cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups light non-dairy whipped topping
- 12 ounces frozen raspberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
-
In a microwavable bowl, melt the white chocolate on High (100%) power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, which should take about 2 minutes.
-
Add the marshmallow creme to the melted white chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended.
-
In a large bowl, beat the fat-free cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
-
Pour the white chocolate mixture into the bowl with the cream cheese and beat until smooth.
-
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to add a subtle citrusy brightness to the mousse.
-
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the light non-dairy whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a light and airy texture.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen raspberries and granulated sugar.
-
Bring the raspberry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
-
Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the raspberry liquid and set it aside.
-
Allow the raspberry mixture to boil, stirring occasionally, until the volume is reduced by half, approximately 8 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, combine the reserved raspberry juice with the cornstarch, mixing until smooth.
-
Add the cornstarch mixture to the raspberry mixture, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 1 minute.
-
Remove the raspberry compote from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Spoon half of the white chocolate mousse into eight wine glasses, creating an even layer at the bottom.
-
Layer half of the raspberry compote over the mousse, distributing it evenly among the glasses.
-
Repeat the layering process with the remaining mousse and raspberry compote, creating beautiful layers of flavor and texture.
-
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
-
For optimal flavor, refrigerate the mousse overnight to enhance its creamy texture and intensify the flavors.
