In chilled small bowl, beat remaining whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into white chocolate mixture. Fold in miniature chocolate chips. Spread over cake.

This dessert is heaven on earth! I have made it numerous times and everyone asks for it again!!! I did not use the creme de cacao and it was not missed at all. The raspberry sauce is good but I serve it on the side as most people I find prefer it without it.

I made something similar to this from Good Housekeeping, i like their version slightly better, but i lost it, and when i did a search, this is what came up. I changed the currants to raspberries, and whipped them with whipping cream, and sugar, and i threw in a little bit of the melted white chocolate to help solidify the topping! It was EXCELLENT!!! I made it for work, i have also made it for my husband at home!

Great desssert! I made this for my anniversary and my husband loved it. I made a raspberry sauce instead of the red currant. A lot of work but well worth it!

Erika, I didn't use the creme de cacao and don't plan to in the future unless I'm making for my mint-loving son. This was a big hit. It has more steps than your average dessert but is well worth it. I had to sub plum jam for the currant jelly and it was very good.
