Notes
Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
Make sure the cream mixture is hot enough to melt the chocolate completely.
Refrigerate the mixture overnight for a perfect consistency.
Whip the mousse just until stiff peaks form to avoid overmixing.
For a fancier presentation, use a piping bag with a decorative nozzle.
