Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons warm water

Mousse Base

  • 1 cup dulce de leche
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Components

  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until fully bloomed and gelatinous.
  2. Prepare Dulce de Leche Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the dulce de leche and vanilla extract. Stir gently to blend and set aside.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: Using an electric mixer, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping to keep it light and fluffy.
  4. Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks appear. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine Whipped Cream and Dulce de Leche: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche mixture until just combined, maintaining volume in the mixture.
  6. Incorporate Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture, taking care not to deflate them, preserving the mousse’s airy texture.
  7. Add Gelatin: Fold the bloomed gelatin into the mousse mixture evenly to help set the mousse.
  8. Chill and Set: Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set firmly.
  9. Serve with Garnish: Once set, optionally garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of extra dulce de leche, and a sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping for best volume.
  • Use a clean, grease-free bowl for beating egg whites to achieve stiff peaks.
  • Be gentle when folding to keep the mousse airy and light.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the mousse longer.
  • For a richer flavor, use homemade or high-quality dulce de leche.
