Ingredients
- 390 grams (13.4oz) dulce de leche or tinned caramel thick and scoopable caramel, not sauce
- 250 grams (9oz) full-fat cream cheese like Philadelphia
- pinch of salt
- 240 millilitres (1 US cup) double cream or heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the dulce de leche (or tinned caramel), cream cheese and a pinch of salt.
- Whip the mixture until it’s smooth, creamy and completely lump-free.
- In a separate bowl, add the fridge-cold double cream and whip it until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche and cream cheese mixture.
- Continue whipping until the mousse thickens to your desired consistency and forms visible trails from the whisk.
- Spoon the mousse into serving bowls, decorate as desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best results, make sure your cream is really cold straight from the fridge. It whips up much easier and faster that way.
- Take a moment to whip the dulce de leche and cream cheese together before anything else. This helps make sure the mousse is super smooth and lump-free.
- You can totally make this mousse by hand (with a lot of elbow grease) but using an electric mixer (whether handheld or stand) will give you a smoother, fluffier result with much less effort.
- Be careful as you whip! The cream can go from soft peaks to over-whipped in just a few seconds, especially at high speed.
- If it happens, add a little more cream and whip gently on low to save it.
- This mousse is best served fresh to keep that airy texture. Unlike some other mousse recipes that contain gelatin, it won’t hold up well if left in the fridge for too long.
