Ingredients
Scale
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Graham cracker crumbs or crushed cookies (for topping)
- Optional: chocolate shavings or a drizzle of caramel for garnish
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, carefully melt the chopped dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; it should be creamy and airy.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Mix carefully to maintain the mousse’s fluffy texture.
- In your serving cups or jars, alternate layers of the chocolate mousse and salted caramel sauce. Finish with a layer of mousse on top.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until well chilled and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up.
Notes
- Garnish with additional caramel drizzle or chocolate shavings for an elegant presentation.
- Allow the mousse to chill for at least 2 hours for optimal texture and flavor development.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best rich flavor.
