Step 1

Combine the chopped white chocolate and 1/3 cup of the heavy cream in a bowl. Melt the chocolate/cream mixture over a double boiler or in the microwave. (If you use a microwave, use low power).

Step 2

Let the chocolate mixture come to room temperature.

Step 3

Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat until creamy and smooth. Beat in the vanilla and the cooled white chocolate mixture.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture.

Step 6

Use the mousse for a cake filling, fruit dip, or fill dessert cups and serve as a creamy mousse dessert.
