- 7 dry ounces dulce de leche
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cup heavy cream divided
- cocoa powder for garnish
Add egg yolks and sugar to a small bowl and whip them together until pale yellow. Add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to a small sauce pan and heat on low until it's hot.
Very slowly, whisk hot cream into whipped yolks. Pour mixture back into sauce pan and continue to heat and stir until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
In a separate medium bowl, add dulce de leche. Place a mesh sieve over the bowl and pour hot egg mixture through the sieve. Mix together until completely combined. Set aside.
Add remaining 1 cup of cream into bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of whipped cream into dulce de leche mixture. Add another 1/3 of whipped cream and fold gently. Fold in remaining 1/3 of whipped cream.
Spoon mousse into 4 different ramekins or bowls. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours or until chilled. Finish with a dust of cocoa powder and serve.
