There is something magical about chocolate mousse, and when you add dulce de leche or caramel, you bring your senses to the next level of divine sweetness.
Dulce de leche or caramel is very easy to make. You just have to pay close attention that it does not burn or will take the burnt flavor and will not be pleasant.
As I was standing by the stove stirring, it brought back some fond memories of my youth in Paris.
See, my dad had a very strong sweet tooth, and no dessert ever went by unnoticed. Growing up, often, during the weekend, we would make homemade caramel (dulce de leche) at home.
Of course, the sweetness would coat it and relieve the pain under the pretense that he had a sore throat.
Once solidified, we would spread it over a marble counter, slice it into cubes, and let it cool off. Heaven.
This is an adaptation of one of my favorite cookbooks, " Seasonal Southwest Cooking" by Barbara Pool Fenzl. She uses store-bought dulce de leche in her book, and I decided to make it homemade.
I am a big fan of chocolate mousse and have indulged too many times. This dessert is rich in flavor, and my book, a must-do. Serve it in small cups.
