Ingredients:
- 4 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, warmed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch fine sea salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions:
- Place the chopped white chocolate into a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Pour the warmed heavy cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to soften.
- Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely smooth and ivory-colored.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt; set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Pour the chilled heavy cream into a cold mixing bowl and beat on medium-high speed until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Gently scoop 1/3 of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture and stir briskly to lighten the base.
- Carefully fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate using a spatula in a figure-eight motion until no white streaks remain.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe into 4 dessert cups in a spiral motion from the bottom up.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the structure.
