Silky mousse layered with tart raspberry purée makes for a sophisticated, bakery-style dessert. By incorporating Lovetta Belgian White Chocolate Callets (28%), the mousse develops a creamy sweetness that balances perfectly with fruit. These individual mousse cups are elegant enough for patisserie displays but simple enough to batch for catering.
