Ingredients

• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 80 ml water
• 300 ml heavy cream
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 tablespoon gelatin
• 60 ml cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 ml whipping cream

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 60 ml of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 200 grams granulated sugar and 80 ml of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Cook until the sugar turns a deep amber color, watching closely to prevent burning, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully whisk in 300 ml of heavy cream. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up rapidly.

Step 5

Add 60 grams of unsalted butter and a pinch of sea salt, whisking until smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the bloomed gelatin and mix until fully dissolved.

Step 7

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour the caramel mixture into a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of whipping cream until soft peaks form.

Step 10

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled caramel mixture until well incorporated.

Step 11

Divide the mousse into serving glasses or dishes and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or until set.

Step 12

Serve chilled, optionally topped with a sprinkle of sea salt or a dollop of whipped cream for garnish.
