Ingredients
White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream divided
- 10 ounces white chocolate coarsely chopped, or ghirardelli white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peppermint candies crushed, divided (about 12 candy canes, crushed)
- 3 cups chocolate pudding
- 1 9x13'' pan Brownies , baked
Instructions
For the mousse:
- Add 1 cup heavy cream to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.Pour white chocolate chips into a mixing bowl. Pour simmering cream over the top, and stir until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Add remaining 1 cup of cream to a large mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks.
- Fold into the cooled white chocolate mixture, along with 1/2 cup of the crushed candy. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
- Make the chocolate pudding and set aside.
- Make the brownies and allow to cool completely. Cut into small squares.
To assemble:
- Cover the bottom of your serving cups (or a large trifle dish) with brownie pieces. Add spoonfuls of pudding on top.
- Smooth a layer of mousse on top of the pudding. Repeat with 2 more layers.
- Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. Garnish with crushed peppermint candies just before serving.
Notes
I've found it easiest to make the mousse and the pudding (steps 1-3) a day or two in advance, to save time.
