Ingredients Needed

Crust

• 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs (Substitute with digestive biscuits or gluten-free crumbs if needed.)
• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Using salted butter can enhance the taste.)

Filling

• 8 ounces White Chocolate (Choose high-quality chocolate with at least 30% cocoa butter.)
• 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream (A dairy-free whipped cream can be used for a vegan option.)
• 8 ounces Cream Cheese (Mascarpone can be used for a creamier texture.)

2. Melt white chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring until smooth; let cool slightly.
3. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and slightly fluffy. Stir in cooled white chocolate until combined.
4. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold about a third into the chocolate mixture to loosen, followed by the remaining cream until light and airy.
5. Pipe or spoon mousse into chilled crusts, smoothing the top. Chill at least 2 hours or until set.
6. Just before serving, top with fresh raspberries, drizzle caramel if desired, and garnish with edible flowers.
