What you need:

Brownies

  • 65g/2oz                     Odlums All Purpose Cream Flour
  • 80g/3oz                    Cocoa Powder
  • 300g/10oz                Sugar
  • 2                                 Eggs
  • 240g/8oz                  Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • 2 tsps                         Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp                           Salt
  • 80g/3oz                    Chocolate Chips or roughly chopped chocolate

Salted Caramel Sauce

  • 200g/7oz                   Sugar
  • 120g/4oz                   Unsalted Butter
  • 125ml                         Double cream
  • 1 ½ tsps                      Sea Salt

How to:

  1. For the caramel, heat the sugar in a saucepan on a medium heat. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the sugar. Lightly stir the sugar with a spatula or wooden spoon for about 5 minutes until it becomes a light golden-brown liquid.
  2. Once it starts to darken, remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted completely.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and sea salt. You can use 1to 1 ½ tsps of salt, depending on how salty you like it. Stir well until it is all combined. Put it back on the heat for about 30 to 45 seconds, stirring all the while.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes before using.
  5. While cooling, make your Brownie batter: Preheat the oven to 180’C. Line an 8 x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Stir in the sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt and mix to combine.
  7. Fold in the cocoa powder and flour and fold in the chocolate chips. Pour a little over half the brownie batter into the baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Pour ¾ of the caramel sauce over the brownie batter, spread evenly.  Spoon the rest of the brownie batter over the top, covering as much of the caramel as possible.
  9. Bake for roughly 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean (its ok if there is caramel on it you just don’t want any chocolate brownie batter)
  10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
  11. Serve with left over caramel sauce and ice-cream or whipped cream.

Odlums Salted Caramel & Chocolate Mousse recipe

Salted Caramel & Chocolate Mousse

CategoryChristmas

Chill Time60 mins

What you need:

For the salted caramel sauce

  • 125g/4oz Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
  • 50g/2oz Butter
  • 170ml carton Double Cream
  • ½ tsp sea salt

For the mousse

  • 350g Dark Chocolate, chopped into small pieces
  • 50g/2oz Butter
  • ½ tsp Goodall’s Vanilla Extract
  • 8 Eggs, separated
  • 1 tbsp Shamrock Golden Caster Sugar

To serve

  • Double Cream, whipped
  • Chocolate, grated

How to:

  1. For the salted caramel sauce, place the sugar, two tablespoons water and golden syrup in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. When the sugar has turned a rich amber colour, remove from the heat and stir in the butter, cream and salt. Pour into a bowl, cover the surface with cling film and cool completely.
  2. For the mousse, melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water – ensuring that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Set aside to cool a little. Then whisk the egg yolks into the cooled chocolate mixture and add the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to a light foam then add the caster sugar and whisk again until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. Stir a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until well incorporated
  4. Pour a tablespoon of salted caramel sauce into the bottom of each serving glass. Top with one-third of the mousse mixture. Drizzle over enough sauce to cover the mousse. Repeat this layering with mousse and caramel, finishing with a final layer of mousse.
  5. Refrigerate for an hour before serving. If chilled for longer, remove 30 minutes before serving. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
