White Chocolate Mousse w/Pomegranate Sauce

mmm Pomegranate .. AND Chocolate :) i'm in love. and really hungry now

Adapted from Bon Appetit (NoblePig.com)
(makes 6 servings)

3cups (24oz) pomegranate sauce
10oz high-quality white chocolate, chopped
1cup heavy whipping cream, divided
3 large egg whites
3tbsp powdered sugar
Pomegranate seeds
Directions:
1)Boil pomegranate juice in a large saucepan until reduced to 2/3 cup, about 20min. (I used a 9.5'-wide pan and reduced to 2/3 cup in exactly 20min. If you use a smaller width pan it will most likely take longer to reduce.) Transfer the sauce to a small cup & chill.
2) Stir good-quality white chocolate & 1/2cup cream in a medium saucepan over very low heat until melted. Transfer to a large bowl and cool 10min.
3) In another bowl, beat remaining 1/2cup cream to soft peaks.
4) Fold whipped cream into cooled chocolate mixture in two additions.
5)In another bowl, using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites until very frothy.
6) Add powdered sugar & beat until stiff peaks form.
7) Fold egg-white mixture into chocolate mixture in two additions.
8) Divide mousse into 6-8oz glasses (a generous 1/2cup in each).
9) Chill at least 2hrs & spoon chilled pomegranate sauce over mousse & garnish w/pomegranate seeds.
