Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (preferably salted)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling
- Optional: whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream, incorporating fully without deflating the air. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Layer the mousse by spooning salted caramel sauce into individual cups, followed by the chocolate mousse. Repeat layers if desired, finishing with caramel on top.
- Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with sea salt flakes, add whipped cream, and garnish with chocolate shavings for extra decadence.
Notes
- You can infuse the mousse with additional flavors like cinnamon or butterbeer essence for a unique twist.
- For a richer texture, consider adding chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter mixed into the mousse.
- Ensure the mousse is fully chilled to set properly before serving for the best texture.
