For a change of pace, here is a salted butter caramel and chocolate mousse that's easy to make and perfect for serving in individual glasses, for example. Salted butter caramel is a Breton specialty born in the 19th century in the dairies of Quimper. Here, we blend it with white chocolate for a mousse that plays on the sweet and salty contrast. Three hours of chilling is all you need for the whipped egg whites to set properly.
