Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to brown slightly and has a nutty aroma. Be cautious not to burn it.
Add the erythritol sweetener and sea salt to the pan, stirring continually until the erythritol is dissolved.
Reduce heat to low and add the softened cream cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
Add the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Fold the cooled caramel cream mixture gently into the whipped cream until well combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Divide the mousse evenly into four dessert cups or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the mousse set and flavors meld.
Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or a small dollop of whipped cream before serving, if desired.
