- 1 1/2 cups (255 grams) white chocolate chips
- 2 cups (300 grams) fresh blackberries
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blackberries (for topping)
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/3 cup (67 grams) sugar
- 1/2 cup (40 grams) dried blackberries (finely ground)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar (for mousse)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
- 2 teaspoons gelatin (dissolved in 3 tablespoons water)
- 1/4 cup (75 grams) blackberry jam
- Whipped cream (for decoration)
Instructions
- Craft a robust base by combining chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, pulverized dried blackberries, and sugar. Press the mixture compactly into a 9-inch springform pan’s bottom. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to solidify the foundation.
- Create a luxurious white chocolate layer by gently melting white chocolate chips with heavy cream over low heat. Stir until achieving a silky consistency. Cool slightly, then incorporate softened cream cheese until achieving a smooth texture. Distribute evenly across the chilled crust. Refrigerate approximately 1 hour until completely set.
- Transform fresh blackberries into a vibrant puree by blending with sugar and lemon juice. Strain to eliminate seeds, then warm the mixture in a saucepan. Integrate dissolved gelatin and allow to reach room temperature. Delicately fold whipped cream into the cooled blackberry mixture. Carefully spread over the white chocolate layer, ensuring an even surface. Chill for 4-6 hours until the mousse becomes completely firm.
- Elevate the presentation by gently combining fresh blackberries with blackberry jam. Artfully spread across the set mousse surface. Garnish the cake’s perimeter with elegant whipped cream dollops. Slice and serve chilled for an exquisite dessert experience.
Notes
- Ensure cookie crumbs are finely ground for a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Melt white chocolate slowly and gently to prevent seizing or burning, creating a silky-smooth texture in the white chocolate layer.
- Use fresh, ripe blackberries for maximum flavor intensity and vibrant color in the mousse.
- Strain blackberry puree thoroughly to remove seeds, guaranteeing a luxuriously smooth and elegant mousse texture.
