I am the oldest in my family and when each of my 3 sisters and brother got engaged I threw a party for them, so the families could meet and celebrate together. I always served these little white chocolate mousse tartlets, so it kind of became a tradition for those gatherings. I served them for several reasons, they are not only amazingly delicious and very pretty, but they are so easy to make! You can make the crusts and filling, and prep the fruit all a day ahead of time. So they can come together quickly the day of your event. I like to serve them for parties, and showers, especially in the Spring and Summer. I prefer to use only berries on top–blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, but when I make these in the winter sometimes good berries are hard to find, so I add kiwi and mandarins (from a can) . The mousse is surprisingly simple to make and so perfect combined with fresh berries!!
So, let’s dive right into this wonderful recipe that’s sure to impress your family and friends!

I made these and they are just wonderful!. The filling is delicious. Best of all, they are so pretty! For the garnish, I used small slices of strawberry and kiwi and a few blueberries. I made these for a bridal shower, but they would be perfect for a tea party or summer luncheon buffet.
These are my absolute favorite dessert. Melanie made these for all our engagement parties. Now that everyone is married in our family, we’ll have to contrive another special occasion she can make them for. I love them!
These are fabulous!! Delicious and SOOO pretty!
