Ingredients
Scale
- 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, caramel drizzle, sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream, maintaining fluffiness.
- Swirl in salted caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt into the mousse mixture for balanced flavor.
- Spoon or pipe the mousse into individual cups or glasses, topping with additional salted caramel, shaved chocolate, or sea salt flakes as desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor profile.
- Make sure the melted chocolate is not too hot before folding into whipped cream to prevent deflation.
- Chill the serving cups beforehand for a colder, more refreshing mousse experience.
- Adjust the salted caramel amount for your preferred balance of sweet and salty.
