    How To Cut Easter Eggs Without Them Cracking

    One little trick when you're making these Salted Caramel Mousse Easter Egg Cups is to ensure that your chocolate hollow eggs are at room temperature before cutting the tops off. This makes it easy to slice them without cracking the eggs (too much!).

    The Famous 2 Ingredient Caramel Mousse Recipe

    Making caramel mousse has never been easier!

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    All you need is two ingredients:

    • whipping cream
    • salted caramel sauce

    To keep the texture of the caramel mousse lovely and light, stir the salted caramel sauce through a small portion (about 3-4 tbs) of the whipped cream mixture, and then fold it through the remaining whipped cream.

    Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce Vs Store-Bought Caramel Sauce

    Look, I love a homemade salted caramel sauce as much as anyone. BUT! When it comes to this recipe, there is literally no difference to the final taste between a homemade and a store-bought salted caramel sauce. So if you feel like making your own salted caramel sauce, then go for it! But if you're happy to 'cheat' with a store-bought version, then that's perfect too!

    And that's it!!! Super quick Salted Caramel Mousse Easter Egg Cups that are sure to be a hit this Easter!

    Ingredients

    • 12 hollow chocolate Easter eggs (see note)
    • 500 ml thickened cream (for whipping)
    • ½ cup salted caramel sauce (see note)
    • gold edible glitter (for decoration), optional
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Carefully cut the tops off the hollow chocolate eggs and place the eggs into an empty egg container. 
    • Beat thickened cream until soft peaks have formed (if using a Thermomix, beat on Speed 3 until soft peaks form).
    • Take 3-4 tablespoons of the whipped cream and place into a seperate bowl with the salted caramel sauce. Mix together well. 
    • Fold the salted caramel whipped cream through the remaining whipped cream until just combined. 
    • Use a teaspoon to divide the mousse mixture between the hollow Easter egg cups. 
    • Top with edible gold glitter (optional) for decoration. 
    • Chill in the fridge for 4-6 hours or overnight. 

    Notes

    Ensure that your chocolate hollow eggs are at room temperature before cutting the tops off. This makes it easy to slice them without cracking the eggs. 
     
    You can use a store-bought salted caramel sauce or make your own (I used a bought one from Coles for this recipe).
