White Chocolate and Coconut Mousse with Caramel - dessert in a glass


  Do you know what inspired me to make that dessert? My glassware :) They are not used to their full potential. Ever! Besides, dessert looking like this is an instant winner with your guests.
 Bit of a white chocolate and coconut mousse topped with a caramel and scoop of vanilla ice cream.

MOUSSE
125ml coconut milk
100ml milk
30g caster sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
15g corn flour
2g gelatine leaf
125g white chocolate
225ml whipping cream
Bloom gelatine in a little water. Coconut milk, milk and half the sugar warm gradually. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, corn flour and sugar until a little pale. Add that mixture to milk and boil  for a little while. You should have a medium thick custard at this point. Take it off the heat, add gelatine. Mix until dissolves. Now it is time for chocolate. Brake it into smaller pieces, it will melt quicker. Combine it with custard and mix until smooth. Cool down and at the end add whipped cream gradually.  Pipe it in glasses and refrigerate for few hours.

 When ready, top it up with some caramel ( shop bought in my case) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream (also shop bought :) )
I also attempted spun sugar to decorate but ended up with something looking like pile of caramel needles instead. I don't have to mention that everybody thought of it as intended garnish!
