#sizzlinwithSAS: White Chocolate Mousse and Fancy Farm Girl Flirty Bubbles

Bubbles & Mousse! Get ready for a #Valentines treat as Sue-Ann whips up a White Chocolate Mousse to pair with our Fancy Farm Girl Flirty Bubbles! Claire Robinson's recipe from @foodnetworkca is excellent, creating a super duper rich and creamy dessert that pairs perfectly with the acidity and hints of strawberry in our Flirty Bubbles.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
7 ounces white chocolate, chopped into very small pieces

2 egg yolks

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream, plus 1 cup

12 fresh blackberries, for garnish

Mint sprigs, for garnish, optional

In a large glass bowl, place the chopped white chocolate and set aside.
Add the egg yolks and sugar to a small bowl and whisk until pale in color.
In a saucepan, over low heat, bring 1/4 cup of the cream to a simmer, and slowly add the cream into the yolk and sugar mixture to temper. Pour the creamy mixture back into pan and stir with a wooden spoon until it coats the back of it.
Pour hot mix into a fine mesh sieve placed directly over bowl with the chopped chocolate. Stir until completely smooth.
In another bowl, whip remaining 1 cup of the cream to almost stiff peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the white chocolate mix to lighten and then fold in the remaining whipped cream.
Spoon the white chocolate mousse into 4 serving cups and refrigerate until set, approximately 1 hour.
Garnish each serving with 3 blackberries and a sprig of mint, if using.
