bowl. Place white chocolate in a second
microwave-safe bowl. Cover each with waxed

oven and heat on HIGH for 1
stir. If chocolate is not melted, repeat process for
30 seconds at a time, or until melted. Stop and
stir.
Heat cream in a heavy saucepan over medium
heat until very hot, but do not boil. Remove from
heat. Pour 1 cup (250 mL) of cream into each of
the chocolate bowls. Stir each until completely
mixed. Cover bowls and refrigerate about
2 hours.
Pour white chocolate mixture into mixer bowl.
Attach bowl and wire whip to mixer. Gradually
turn to Speed 6 and beat 4 to 4
until soft peaks form. Spoon about
(75 mL) mixture into each of 6 stemmed dessert
dishes. Set aside.
