Description

This easy 3-ingredient Caramel Mousse is a creamy, rich dessert combining white chocolate and caramel for a luscious, smooth texture and a delightful caramel aftertaste. Perfectly light and satisfying, it’s a simple yet elegant treat served in mini cups.

Ingredients

Caramel Mousse

  • 100 g (3.5 oz) white chocolate
  • 300 ml (10 floz) heavy cream
  • 60 g (2 oz) caramel or dulce de leche

Garnish

  • ⅓ cup caramel or dulce de leche
  • 20 g (0.7 oz) white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare White Chocolate: Finely chop the white chocolate and place it into a mixing bowl ready for melting.
  2. Heat Cream and Caramel: In a saucepan, add the heavy cream and caramel or dulce de leche, stirring constantly over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil to ensure the caramel fully dissolves and combines well.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Remove the cream mixture from heat immediately upon boiling. Pour it over the chopped white chocolate and stir gently until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Chill Mixture: Cover the surface of the mixture with cling film to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until it is fully chilled.
  5. Whip the Mousse: Take the chilled mixture out, remove the cling film, and whip with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip as this can cause curdling.
  6. Pipe First Layer: Using a piping bag fitted with a 1M nozzle, pipe half of the whipped mousse into 12 mini dessert cups. Apply pressure while piping for a decorative ruffled effect.
  7. Add Caramel Drizzle: Drizzle a spoonful of caramel or dulce de leche over the mousse layer in each cup.
  8. Pipe Second Layer: Pipe the remaining mousse on top of the caramel layer evenly in all cups.
  9. Final Garnish: Drizzle more caramel on top and finish by grating the white chocolate over each mousse for an elegant presentation.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smoothness.
  • Ensure the cream mixture reaches boiling to completely melt the white chocolate when combined.
  • Refrigerate overnight for the mousse to develop perfect texture and stability.
  • Whip only until stiff peaks form to avoid curdling or grainy texture.
  • Use a decorative piping nozzle for an attractive, professional finish.
