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.
Ingredients for 4 servings
Caramel and chocolate:
- 3.5 oz (100 g) fine sugar
- 1.75 oz (50 g) salted butter
- 0.8 cup (20 cl) heavy cream (30 %)
- 7 oz (200 g) chocolate (white here, but you can use any chocolate you like)
The mousse:
- 4 eggs
