White Chocolate Mousse With Kiwifruit

Most white chocolate mousse recipes on Recipezaar seem to either use gelatine for setting, or do without the light fluffiness of real chocolate mousse (for which egg whites are indispensable); this recipe sticks reasonably close to the 'original' dark chocolate mousse. The earthy, tangy taste of the kiwifruit contrasts nicely with the mousse. The white rum can be replaced with brown rum if necessary. Can be prepared a day in advance up to and including step 2.
