Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee powder
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Salted caramel candies (hard candies, crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Cookie crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, pour 1/2 cup of heavy cream and whisk in the instant coffee powder until fully dissolved. Set aside.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add the coffee-cream mixture, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir until well combined.
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
Gently fold in 1/4 cup of the crushed salted caramel candies to add a subtle crunch to the mousse.
Divide the mousse evenly into 4 serving cups or glasses. Smooth the tops with a spoon.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of crushed salted caramel candies over each cup for texture and garnish.
Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the mousse layers. If desired, add optional garnishes like chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs for added flair.
Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Caramel Latte Crunch Cups!
