Steps:
- For the caramel crunch: Spray a rimmed baking sheet with canola cooking spray and set aside.
- Pour the granulated sugar into a clean, dry medium saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns a dark amber color (it will register at least 320 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Immediately pour the caramelized sugar onto the prepared baking sheet. Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes; it should become brittle. Once brittle, break it into large pieces, put them in a plastic bag and bash the bag until finer shards form.
- For the mousse: Combine the chocolate, salt and vanilla in a medium bowl.
- Bring 2 cups of the heavy cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the hot cream into the bowl with the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes. Cool completely.
- Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer at the highest speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and whisk at the highest speed until shiny, firm peaks form, about 2 minutes more. The mixture should be airy and glossy.
- Gently fold about 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until it's all one color and texture. Fold in the rest of the meringue until just incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours.
- To serve, whip the heavy whipping cream and baker's sugar to soft peaks. Top a scoop of the mousse with whipped cream, caramel crunch, and chopped chocolate.
CHOCOLATE VELVET MOUSSE
This is a choco-holics dream mousse. It is a staple for me. I use it as a filling for cakes, trifles, eclairs and cream puffs or in terrines, or layered in parfait glasses with berries and angelfood cake cubes. Or - just on it's own, in pretty cups. Very rich, very decadent, absolutely delicious. You must use a high quality chocolate in this.

Steps:
- NOTE: The flavor of this mousse depends entirely on the chocolate you use.
- Please use the highest quality chocolate you can.
- DO NOT use Bakers chocolate.
- Do not use chocolate chips.
- I like Callabeut, but Sharffenberger, Valhrona, Giardelli-- all are options.
- DIRECTIONS: melt the chocolate, espresso, and rum in the microwave on 50% power for about 2 minutes.
- Stir until smooth.
- Whisk in the yolk and mix well.
- Set aside.
- Using a little dash of vinegar and a paper towel, wipe down the insides of the bowl of your mixer, and the whipping attachment.
- Add the whites and whip until soft peaks form.
- Sprinkle in the sugar, beating on high until stiff, but not dry.
- Fold a quarter of the whites into the chocolate to lighten it, then scrape the remaining whites on top of the chocolate and set aside.
- Beat the cream until it holds its shape (not too stiff) then scrape on top of the whites.
- Fold everything together gently until no streaks of white appear.
- Turn the mousse into your prepared mold, into pretty cups, into custard cups, or whatever you are serving it in and refrigerate until service, at least 2 hours.
- Or just refrigerate in the bowl until needed as a filling for cakes or cream puffs, etc.
- Note: This mousse is very rich and decadent, and it's my favorite because it holds it shape nicely when refrigerated.
- This allows it to be formed into molds and terrines and be sliced or cut.
- It is also a great spreading consistency, and my favorite thing to do with this mousse is use it as a filling for cakes.
- I also like to fold more whipped cream into it (50% mousse, 50% whipped cream) and use it as a filling for eclairs, cream puffs and profiteroles.
- The uses for this mousse are endless.
