Directions
- 1
Place the dulce de leche in the bowl of a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for 8–10 minutes until the mixture becomes noticeably lighter and fluffy.
- 2
With the mixer running on medium, gradually pour in the cold heavy cream and continue beating until the mousse is smooth, airy, and fully combined.
- 3
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large dessert dish.
- 4
Break the chocolate wafers into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the top just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- 5
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to deepen.
💡 Chef's Tip
Use very cold heavy cream for a firmer, more airy mousse. Add the wafers right before serving so they stay crisp. You can swap them for crushed Oreos, digestive biscuits, or caramelized pecans for a fun twist.
