How to Make Lemon And White Chocolate Mousse Parfaits With Strawberries

  1. Whisk together 4 large egg yolks, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt in a medium metal bowl until well combined.
  2. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water).
  3. Whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F to 170°F (about 6-8 minutes).
  4. Remove the bowl from the water and let the lemon mousse base cool completely to room temperature.
  5. In a separate medium metal bowl, combine ¼ cup heavy cream and 4 ounces of finely chopped white chocolate.
  6. Place the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water.
  7. Stir constantly until the chocolate is soft and almost melted.
  8. Remove from the heat and stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let cool completely to room temperature.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 2⅔ cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cooled lemon mousse base, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  11. Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mousse base, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined.
  12. Layer scant ¼ cup of lemon mousse in each of 8 parfait glasses or wine glasses.
  13. Top with 2 tablespoons of sliced strawberries.
  14. Layer scant ¼ cup of white chocolate mousse over the strawberries.
  15. Repeat layers 12 and 13 one more time.
  16. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Garnish with extra strawberries before serving.
