Yield:  Enough for 8 biscuits
Mellow white chocolate and tart, juicy cherries contrast deliciously. Because the mousse is rich and creamy, there’s no need to serve the shortcake with whipped cream.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For the Sauce:
2 cups heavy cream
8 oz. white chocolate, finely chopped
12 oz. (2 cups) pitted fresh cherries, soaked in 1/4 cup dark rum, and sprinkled with 1/4 cup sugar
Basic Shortcake Biscuits (see recipe)

DIRECTIONS
FOR THE MOUSSE:
Start the mousse 8 to 24 hours before serving. Bring 2/3 cup heavy cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the white chocolate. Stir until completely melted. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool until tepid. Put the rest of the cream in a chilled bowl and whip until soft peaks form. With a rubber spatula, gently but quickly fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until just combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
After making the shortcakes, assemble them as directed, piping the mousse around the top and bottom cakes.

Incredibly Confusing and Difficult See all of M J's reviews »
This recipe is hard to follow, does not have clear instructions for the entire assemblage and takes a long time to get the recipe together. I would rather be cooking!
