Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 bars Caramello chocolate bars
- 100 grams Bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Shaved chocolate or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the Caramello chocolate bars and the bittersweet (or semi-sweet) chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes to soften. Then, stir until smooth and fully melted. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a large chilled mixing bowl, add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the mousse light and airy.
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, optionally sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-and-salty twist and garnish with shaved chocolate or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy Caramello Chocolate Mousse!
