The famous 2 ingredient caramel mousse recipe

Making caramel mousse has never been easier!

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 (and this is a good recipe if you want to make your own!). 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, 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!
