Chocolate Mousse Caramel Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Instructions:

1. Using a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until it is completely melted.
2. Add sugar and water into the saucepan and combine them before turning to medium-high heat.
3. Wait until the mixture turns clear, then stop stirring.
4. Continue to heat and watch the mixture constantly as it will eventually turn an amber colour.
5. Remove the saucepan from the stove and pour heavy cream into the mixture.
6. The mixture will bubble up, so continue to stir until the caramel is smooth.
7. Add chocolate chips into the mixture and stir until they have melted and combined with the caramel. Then, set aside to cool.
8. In a clean and dry mixing bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar, then whisk until soft peaks form.
9. In another mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy, then fold them into the cooled chocolate caramel mixture.
10. Gently fold egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
11. Pour the mixture into desired serving dishes and chill for at least 4 hours, or until set.
