From Baker’s Royale
Makes approximately eight 3 1/2 oz servings
Ingredients:
Caramel Mousse:
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 cup plus caramel (recipe follows)
Caramel Sauce:
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons of heavy cream
- ½ teaspoons of kosher salt
Apple Crumble:
- ½ cup diced fresh apples
- ½ cup apple chips
- ½ cup crumbled granola
Instructions:
Caramel Mousse:
- Place chilled heavy cream in a bowl and using a whisk or a hand held mixer on medium speed or medium strength (for stand mixers use a low setting with the whisk attachment). Beat cream until soft peaks form and cream is light and fluffy. Gently fold in caramel sauce.
Caramel Sauce:
- Add sugar and water into a saucepan over medium low heat. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Use a wet brush to remove any crystals that form on the side. Once sugar has dissolved increase heat to high. Now and then, using the handle give the pot a swirl to keep the mixture moving. Do not stir the mixture directly. The mixture will start to bubble after a minute. As the mixture darkens to a dark amber color, approximately 5-7 minutes, add the butter and cream to saucepan. The mixture will bubble wildly. Whisk to combine (bubbles will subside upon cooling). Add salt and stir to combine.
Apple Crumble:
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.
Assembly:
- Fill two pastry bags, one with the mousse and the other pastry bag with caramel.
- Pipe a mousse layer onto bottom of glass.
- Pipe a second layer with caramel on top of the mousse.
- For the third layer, sprinkle the apple crumble mixture on top of the caramel layer.
Continue layering by repeating steps 2-4.
