This Dulce de Leche Mousse is the epitome of elegance and simplicity. With its rich caramel flavor and light, airy texture, this dessert is a luxurious treat for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply craving something indulgent, this mousse comes together effortlessly with just four ingredients. Topped with an extra swirl of dulce de leche, it’s a dessert that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
- 200 grams dulce de leche (plus extra for drizzling, optional)
- 300 millilitres double cream (fridge-cold)
- ½ teaspoon cornflour (or 1 teaspoon for a firmer texture)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mousse Base: Place the dulce de leche in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt for a balanced caramel flavor, if desired.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, pour the cold double cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it begins to thicken but is still soft (do not overwhip).
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the cornflour to the whipped cream and mix gently for 10-15 seconds to combine. The cornflour helps stabilize the mousse. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche using a spatula. Be gentle to maintain the light, airy texture. Fold until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses, ramekins, or bowls. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon. Place the mousse in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to set. For a firmer texture, chill for up to 2 hours.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, drizzle extra dulce de leche over the top for added indulgence. You can also garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
Conclusion:
This Dulce de Leche Mousse is the perfect blend of richness and lightness, making it a dreamy dessert for any occasion. With its silky texture and irresistible caramel flavor, it’s a treat that comes together in minutes but tastes like it took hours. Serve it chilled and watch as it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving more.
