This is an absolute show-stopping, tasty dessert! The mousses can be served in any glass dish, but I purchased these at The Christmas Tree Shops for $1.50. If you’re short on time, use store-bought caramel sauce (such as Baker’s Choice) and swap the homemade shards for caramel popcorn on top. It’s a win-win: you’ll be the outstanding chef, with minimal effort!

Ingredients

Caramel

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Caramel Shards

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 3/4 cup sugar

Mousse

  • 8 ounces cream cheese

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream


Wine Pairing

Massenez Poire Prisonnière

Directions

Prepare the Caramel

1.

Mix sugar with water and heat over medium heat. Let bubble until sugar turns a deep golden color.

2.

Add butter and whisk until butter has melted and is fully combined.

3.

Remove from heat and add cream. Whisk until combined. Stir in sea salt.

4.

Let cool before ready to use.

Prepare the Caramel Shards

1.

Line a large cookie sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper.

2.

Pour water into pot and cover with sugar. Heat over medium flame until sugar starts to dissolve without mixing.

3.

Once the sugar is dissolved, turn up the heat to medium-high until the sugar reaches a dark golden-brown color.

4.

Pour caramel onto prepared cookie sheet in a thin layer. Once cool, chop into shards.

Prepare the Mousse

1.

Mix cream cheese and caramel sauce until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.

To Serve

1.

Pipe mousse into individual cups. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and top with caramel shards.

Can these be made in advance and frozen?

Yes but the caramel shards and the whipped cream should be added last minute before serving.
