4. Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the White Chocolate Mousse

In a heatproof bowl, combine 8 oz white chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining ½ cup heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract for added flavor. Cover the mousse and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. For tips on achieving silky mousse, visit our mousse cake recipe here.

Preparing the Blueberry Compote

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups blueberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin to release their juices and soften, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water) and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely before using. For more fruit compote tips, check our strawberry pie recipe here.

Whipping the Cream

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups heavy cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix, as the whipped cream can become grainy. Transfer the whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a star tip for elegant layering, or simply spoon it into the trifle dish. For more whipped cream tips, visit our chocolate cake recipe here.

Assembling the Trifle

In a clear glass trifle dish, begin layering the components for maximum visual impact. Start with a base of blueberry compote, followed by a generous layer of white chocolate mousse. Add a layer of whipped cream on top, spreading it evenly. Repeat the layers—blueberry compote, white chocolate mousse, whipped cream—until the dish is full, finishing with a final dollop of whipped cream. Decorate the top with edible bronze or silver glitter, fresh blueberries, and crushed graham crackers for texture. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. More assembly tips here.
