White Chocolate Mousse With Frangelico - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 oz. white chocolate, broken into small pieces
1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter
6 eggs, separated (at room temperature)
1 c. sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 c. Frangelico liqueur
2 c. whipping cream, cold
pinch of cream of tartar
unsweetened cocoa powder or grated dark chocolate (for garnish)

Preparation

Melt the white chocolate and butter in a small saucepan, stirring constantly.
Set aside. Beat egg yolks, sugar and liqueur until the mixture forms a slowly dissolving ribbon when the beaters are lifted.
Pour the mixture into the top of a double boiler and cook, whisking constantly, over simmering water until very thick, about 3 minutes.
Remover to a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the white chocolate mixture and stir until smooth and cool.
Beat the cream until the peaks are stiff.
