Directions

In a bowl, combine the condensed milk with the liquid caramel.

Add the gelatin in the condensed milk and caramel mixture and stir well with a wire whisk.
On the side, beat the heavy cream well until it is firm and then add it to the previous preparation and mix it well.
Pour into a large bowl or individual dessert dishes, decorate to taste and place it in the refrigerator for a while.

Recipe Tips

•

Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for at least 5-10 minutes before using. This ensures they bloom properly and dissolve smoothly in your mixture, preventing any lumps in your mousse.

•

When whipping the heavy cream, stop as soon as you reach soft peaks. Over-whipping can lead to a grainy texture, which will negatively affect the smoothness of your mousse.

•

To enhance the flavor of your caramel mousse, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the liquid caramel before mixing it with the condensed milk. This will create a delightful contrast and elevate the overall taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the heavy cream with a non-dairy alternative?

Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with a non-dairy alternative such as coconut cream or cashew cream for a vegan option. Just ensure that the substitute can be whipped and has a similar fat content for the best results.

How long can I store the caramel mousse in the refrigerator?

The caramel mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from absorbing any odors from the fridge.

What should I do if my gelatin doesn’t dissolve properly?

If your gelatin doesn't dissolve after melting, try gently reheating it in the microwave for an additional 5 seconds, or stir it into a small amount of warm water before adding it to the mixture. Make sure it’s fully dissolved before mixing it in.
