Instructions
1
Begin by melting the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until completely melted and smooth.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the well-chilled heavy cream using an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks. Set aside.
3
In another medium bowl, combine the cold whole milk and the vanilla instant pudding mix. Beat together for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well combined.
4
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese, sifted confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Gradually mix in the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
5
Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring an even blend. Next, fold in one-third of the whipped cream to lighten the mixture, and continue folding in the remaining whipped cream in two more batches until fully incorporated and fluffy.
6
Once combined, cover the mousse and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set before using it as a filling in your favorite cake or as a standalone dessert.
