Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream 4 oz. white chocolate, finely chopped 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup Irish whiskey 1/2 cup raisins 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and white chocolate over low heat. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooled white chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, resembling mousse consistency.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the Irish whiskey and raisins. Allow them to soak for at least 10 minutes, ensuring the raisins are fully infused with the whiskey flavor.
- Fold the soaked raisins into the prepared Irish cream mousse, gently incorporating them throughout the mixture.
- Divide the mousse into four serving glasses and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Just before serving, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Use a pastry brush to gently glaze the top of each mousse with the melted butter.
