Ingredients
Scale

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter can substitute with vegan butter
- 1 cup heavy cream coconut cream for dairy-free option
- 1 tbsp gelatin consider agar-agar for vegetarian option
- 1 cup granulated sugar coconut sugar for less refined sweetness

Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and unsalted butter together in a double boiler, stirring gently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, cook granulated sugar over medium heat until it reaches a golden amber color. Then, add the butter and heavy cream while stirring continuously until smooth, followed by the sea salt.
- Spoon the mousse into dome molds, creating an indentation in each dome. Fill with salted caramel and cover with more mousse. Chill for at least 4 hours.
- Once chilled, gently press on the sides to unmold the mousse domes and serve chilled.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
If vegan, use vegan butter and agar-agar instead of gelatin.
