Caramel Mousse

Well, at this time of the year, many of you may think about a special menu for Christmas and New year's party.


So this time, I think it's a cute menu that's very suitable for a party, as it can be prepared ahead of time. The ingredients and how-to might be very long, but the fact is it's not difficult. After making the caramel mousse, you can freeze it (cover it completely) for up to 1 week! 
Then on the day of serving, making the chocolate glaze, and serve! Very easy, right? 
This time I didn't list the liquor in the ingredient list but if you want to add more punch into this dessert, just drizzle it over the cake (or brownie) before placing the caramel mousse over it. There are many flavors that are good for the caramel: Chocolate, coffee, caramel, or nut, just use the one that you love (or have).
This time I use Rich's Gourmet Trio, I can whip it immediately. but for other whipping creams, refrigerate for 30 minutes before whipping.

Remove the gelatin from the water and squeeze to remove excess water.

Note: By using Rich's Gourmet Trio, I can whip it immediately. but for other whipping creams, refrigerate for 30 minutes before whipping.

 Then pour it back into the whipped cream bowl.


 Fold to combine.
