This smooth and creamy mousse makes a perfect date night dessert, or just a cool and refreshing chocolatey treat. Homemade salted caramel is stirred into melted chocolate, then whipped with egg whites and cream for a fluffy texture with a sweet and salty flavor. Pro-tip: Using chocolate with a higher cocoa content will result in a rich, deep chocolate flavor.
