Ingredients
Scale
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, sea salt flakes, chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want a smooth, airy texture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate, adding vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the chocolate mousse into individual cups or glasses. Smooth the tops with a spatula for an elegant presentation.
- Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the chocolate mousse in each cup. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor. For added decadence, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or more caramel.
Notes
- Keep your salted caramel mousse refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- Let the cups sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
- This dessert can be made ahead of time, making it ideal for gatherings.
- Experiment with different chocolate types for varied flavors.
