White Chocolate Mousse Torte
"I picked this recipe up last Christmas from a Christmas fair I went to with my mom. It is absolutely gorgeous and just melts in your mouth. A great treat for a dinner party dessert or to pass around as a little bite. Make it the night before and put it in the fridge for best results."
