Valentine Parfait: White Chocolate Mousse w/Red
Raspberry Coulis
RASPBERRY SAUCE

1/2 cup of water
1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier or other liqueur (optional)

Instructions:
MOUSE
1/4 cup of water
1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup of milk
5 ounces of white chocolate** -- broken up
1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
Combine undrained berries and lemon juice in processor or blender and
purée. Strain, pressing with back of spoon. Add sugar, cornstarch, water
and liqueur; blend well. Place in saucepan over medium heat and bring to
boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and continue stirring one minute.
Remove from heat and allow to cool until ready to use.
In a glass measuring cup, sprinkle gelatin over cold water and allow
mixture to soften for 1-2 minutes. Microwave on HIGH 20-40 seconds and
allow to stand for 2 minutes, or until granules are completely
dissolved. (Alternatively, place cup in a bowl of hot water and stir
until completely dissolved.) In a small saucepan bring milk to the
simmering point. Remove from heat and add white chocolate. Stir
occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Blend
gelatin into chocolate mixture and refrigerate until slightly thickened
but not gelled — about 10 minutes.
Whip cream until stiff and peaks hold their shape. Fold white chocolate
mixture into whipped cream . Beginning with raspberry sauce, alternate
layers of mousse with raspberry sauce into tall parfait glasses.
Refrigerate 1-2 hours. To serve, garnish with partially frozen whole
berries, or fresh if available.

NOTES : Luxuriously light but deliciously decadent, this rich, white
chocolate mousse and red raspberry coulis (pronounced "coo - lee")
parfait is a delicate balance of the holiday's two favorite ingredients.
These perfect partners combine to produce a velvety smooth dessert with
a simple elegance that makes it a fitting finale to a quiet valentine
dinner for two, or an ideal company dessert as well. It can be made
ahead and uses frozen berries from your local grocery freezer case.
**Real white chocolate contains cocoa butter. Tobler, Lindt or Bakers'
are good choices.
