Ingredients

3/4 cup heavy cream 6 oz, cold
3 oz white chocolate chopped, around 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate
3 oz cream cheese at room temperature
3 tablespoons thandai powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar or to taste
shaved white chocolate to garnish
chopped pistachio to garnish
dried rose buds to garnish

Method

* Chill the bowl and the wire whisk attachment (or your hand whisk/hand blender attachment) for 15 to 20 minutes before you whip the cream. Of course the cream should be cold too (straight out of the refrigerator).

* Then transfer the cream to the cold bowl.

* Using the wire whisk attachment of your stand mixer (or using your stand mixer), whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

* Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.

* Now melt the white chocolate using a double boiler method, which means put a pan half filled with water on medium-low heat.
* Put a bowl with the chopped white chocolate (make sure to chop chocolate into small pieces) on top of the pan simmering with water.

* The water in the pan below should be simmering slightly (not boiling) and the bottom of the bowl with the chocolate should not touch the water.

* Stir until the chocolate melts. Then remove the chocolate bowl from heat and let it cool a bit.

* You can also melt the chocolate using a microwave.

* To the same bowl in which you had beaten the heavy cream, now add cream cheese (room temperature), along with thandai powder and powdered sugar.

* Beat using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer (or using your hand mixer/whisk) until it is all combined and creamy.

* Then add in the melted (and slightly cooled) white chocolate into the mixer. Mix until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom as needed.

* Start folding the whipped cream into the cream cheese and thandai mixture. Add the whipped cream in 3 parts.

* After each addition, mix the cream using the cut and fold method, moving your spatula in one direction.

* Do not mix very vigorously else you will deflate all the air from the whipped cream, so fold gently.

* Then transfer the mousse into a piping bag. Mine was also fitted with a round nozzle.

* Pipe the mousse into serving glasses using the piping bag. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours before serving.

* Garnish the White Chocolate Thandai Mousse with shaved white chocolate, pistachios and dried rose buds.
