Gingerbread and White Chocolate Mousse Trifle
While genuine chocolate is often the star in the kitchen, it is white chocolate that offers a pleasant surprise. Its flavor differs from chocolate as it doesn't contain cocoa powder, but rather a blend of cocoa butter, milk solids and sugar. The result is a sweet treat that pairs well with cranberries, Macadamia nuts, Matcha tea, coffee and much more. Try your hand at some of our favorite white chocolate recipes above.

The filling for this cake calls for orange marmalade, but you can also use seedless raspberry or apricot jam. These would work well with the candied orange peel garnish. Edible flowers would also make a lovely decoration.

Pastry chef Deanie Fox of Ubuntu in Napa Valley adores the excellent local citrus. When she makes this parfait at the restaurant, she uses as many as 10 varieties, from yuzu to tangerine.
