Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream For whipping
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark) For flavor and richness
  • ½ cup caramel sauce For sweetness and flavor
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt Enhances flavor
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar For sweetness and texture
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between until completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip!
  3. Gently fold the cooled chocolate into the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
  4. Next, fold in the caramel sauce and vanilla extract until evenly distributed. If desired, sprinkle in sea salt and fold gently.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
  6. Before serving, drizzle a bit of extra caramel sauce on top and sprinkle a pinch more sea salt for that extra flair.

Notes

Leftover salted caramel mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure it’s covered to prevent it from absorbing other flavors. This dish does not freeze well due to the whipped cream.
