I loooked this up reall quick (first google link > Salty's WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE)


WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

12 OUNCES WHITE CHOCOLATE, coarsely chopped
4 CUPS WHIPPING CREAM, chilled

Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or a stainless-steel or glass bowl placed over a saucepan filled with simmering (not boiling) water. Remove the pan from the heat when the chocolate is almost melted, then stir until it melts completely. Be careful not to get any water in the chocolate, or it could seize (clump and harden). Cool to room temperature.

With an electric mixer set at medium-high to high speed, whip the cream in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Working quickly, gently fold the melted chocolate into the cream and use immediately to frost the cake.

COOK'S NOTES: White chocolate comes in several forms. For the best flavor and texture, buy a product that lists cocoa butter among the ingredients and avoid those labeled "artificial chocolate" or "chocolate-flavored." Above all, do not use white chocolate chips. If necessary, substitute sweetened coconut or white sprinkles for the white chocolate shavings. To measure the flour in this recipe, spoon it into the measuring cup, then level it off with a straight edge (such as the back of a knife). For even more precise measurements, weigh the flour on a kitchen scale. Three cups should weigh 12 ounces.
