2. Add Vanilla: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract. This adds a delightful flavor dimension to the mousse.

3. Cool: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This step is crucial to ensure that the whipped cream doesn’t melt when folded in.

4. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain the light and airy texture of the mousse.

5. Fill Crusts: Spoon the white chocolate mousse mixture into the graham cracker pie crusts, dividing it evenly between the two crusts.

6. Chill: Place the filled tarts in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse has set. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and for the mousse to firm up to the perfect consistency.

7. Serve: Once chilled, remove the tarts from the refrigerator and serve them with fresh fruit for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. Berries such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries work wonderfully with the creamy white chocolate mousse.

Tips:

• For best results, use high-quality white chocolate for a richer flavor and smoother texture.
• Make sure the chocolate mixture has cooled to room temperature before adding the whipped cream to prevent it from melting and resulting in a runny mousse.
• If you’re short on time, you can prepare the mousse a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Just make sure to cover the tarts with plastic wrap to prevent them from absorbing any other flavors in the fridge.
• Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Aside from fresh fruit, you can also garnish the tarts with chocolate shavings, mint leaves, or a drizzle of raspberry sauce for an extra touch of elegance.

Enjoy these heavenly White Chocolate Mousse Tarts at your next gathering, and watch as they disappear within minutes!
