Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, milk and butter and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt. Pour into a serving dish, layering the bottom of the dish, and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate, chocolate chips and milk. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until chocolate has melted (about 2 minutes). Whisk until smooth and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whip cream until very thick. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined, leaving streaks of whipped cream throughout. Spoon the mixture into the serving dish over the caramel layer.
- Using a rubber spatula, dip into the caramel mixture to incorporate in streaks. Do not over mix. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Tips & Notes
- For ease and speedy prep, you can substitute the homemade caramel with 1 cup of your favorite store-bought brand.
- This super-rich dessert is best served in small portions.
