How long does Caramel Mousse last in the fridge?

Caramel mousse can last in the fridge for about three days when stored in an airtight container. However, for the best flavor and texture, aim to consume it within two days of making it. Over time, the mousse may lose its light, airy quality.

Can I make Caramel Mousse in advance?

Yes, you can make caramel mousse in advance, which makes it a great dessert for gatherings. Prepare it the day before your event and allow it to chill overnight in the fridge. Just be sure to store it properly to maintain its texture.

Is there a dairy-free option for Caramel Mousse?

Absolutely! You can substitute thickened cream with coconut cream to create a delightful dairy-free version of caramel mousse. Just ensure the coconut cream is well chilled, which helps in whipping it to the desired consistency.

Can I freeze Caramel Mousse?

I don’t recommend freezing caramel mousse, as it can alter the texture upon thawing, making it grainy. It's best enjoyed fresh after chilling in the refrigerator.

What can I serve with Caramel Mousse?

Caramel mousse pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit, like berries or sliced bananas, or you can serve it alongside tarts and cakes for a more decadent dessert experience. A sprinkle of sea salt or a drizzle of chocolate can enhance its flavors beautifully.
