Ingredients
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1/3 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to brown slightly and has a nutty aroma. Be cautious not to burn it.
Step 3
Add the erythritol sweetener and sea salt to the pan, stirring continually until the erythritol is dissolved.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low and add the softened cream cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
Step 5
Add the bloomed gelatin mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 6
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Step 7
Fold the cooled caramel cream mixture gently into the whipped cream until well combined and smooth, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 8
Divide the mousse evenly into four dessert cups or bowls.
Step 9
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the mousse set and flavors meld.
Step 10
Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt or a small dollop of whipped cream before serving, if desired.
