Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
6 ounces (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 large eggs, separated
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt, preferably fleur de sel

Steps:

  • 1. Spread the sugar evenly over the bottom of a wide saucepan. Heat the sugar over medium heat. As it begins to liquefy at the edges, use a heatproof spatula to very gently drag the liquefied sugar toward the center. Watch carefully, as once the edges start to darken, the sugar is in danger of burning. Continue to cook, stirring very gently, until all the sugar is melted and begins to caramelize.
  • 2. When the caramel is a deep amber color and starts to smoke, wait for a moment for it to smell just slightly burnt, then remove it from the heat and quickly whisk the butter, stirring until melted. Gradually whisk in the cream and stir until the little bits of caramel are completely melted. (A few can be stubborn, so be patient. You can strain the mixture if they simply refuse to budge.)
  • 3. Once smooth, add the chocolate, stirring gently until it's melted and smooth. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once it's no longer warm, whisk in the egg yolks.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff. Fold one-third of the whipped whites into the chocolate mixture, sprinkling in the flaky salt. Fold in the remaining beaten egg whites just until no streaks of white remain. Divide the mousse into serving glasses, or transfer it to a decorative serving bowl, and chill for at least 8 hours. While it might be tempting to serve this with whipped cream, I prefer to serve it pure, straight up with just a spoon.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect salted caramel sauce, ensure you reach the ideal temperature of 248°F (120°C) before removing it from the heat. Using a candy thermometer is highly recommended for accuracy.
  • When whipping the cream, avoid over-whipping as it can result in a grainy texture. Soft peaks are the desired consistency.
  • For a smooth and velvety mousse, ensure the chocolate is melted gently and not overheated. Using a double boiler or bain-marie is the recommended method for melting chocolate.
  • When folding the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, use a gentle folding motion to incorporate the cream without deflating it.
  • To achieve even layers in the mousse, pour each layer carefully and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before adding the next layer.
  • For a professional touch, decorate the mousse with chocolate shavings, salted caramel drizzle, or fresh berries before serving.
