Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cranberry or raspberry compote
  • 1 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line the sides and bottom of a springform pan with ladyfingers, trimming to fit as needed.
  2. In a small bowl, bloom gelatin in cold water and set aside.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, melt white chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Let it cool slightly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Stir in the melted white chocolate.
  6. Gently heat the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then mix into the white chocolate mixture.
  7. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold it into the white chocolate mixture until well combined.
  8. Spread a layer of mousse over the ladyfingers, then add a layer of cranberry or raspberry compote. Repeat, finishing with a mousse layer on top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.
  10. Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves before serving if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute raspberry compote for cranberry for a different flavor profile.
  • Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid grainy texture.
  • Best made a day ahead for easier slicing and flavor development.
