I want a recipe for a Rolo Toffee type mousse

sethsgran

I am thinking of making chocolate pots for christmas day and then putting a soft toffee first layer, like the one in Rolo desserts. I then plan to top this with my home made mousse recipe or a white choc mousse, need recipe, to top it off. I plan to decorate it with chocolate that has been melted and drizzled onto greaseproof then broken up to stick on top, white if I do milk choc and plain/milk if I do white mousse.

If anyone has a recipe for the toffee base I would appreciate it, it needs to be soft but not runny.

you might do better asking on the old style board.

a really easy cheat for this would be to use a jar of dulche du leche, which is spreadable toffee/caramel spread (great description!...try here for a better one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulce_de_leche )

or you can make your own by heating a can of condensed milk

That sounds fantastic thank you so much

Hi sethsgran,

I've moved your thread over to the Old Style board where you should get more replies.

If you are going to heat a tin of condensed milk, then do not open it or pierce the can. Put it in a pan of water large enough to allow the can to float and simmer very gently for 2 hours - top up with water from the kettle as necessary.
Allow to cool before opening. The contents will be tan coloured.

Me too will probably do 2 choc mousse white and milk then people can choose.

I once made this caramel mousse - it was very easy and it was on an ITV programme - I can't remember which one..


It would be nice with a chocolate layer on top, but it did set, I think perhaps you wanted a runnier texture?

• 1Tablespoon milk
• 3 x 62.5g Mars Bars, thinly sliced
• 300 ml (1/2 pint) double cream, lightly whipped.
• Whipped cream , to decorate.
• Bag of Maltesers.

Directions

1. Put the milk and Mars Bars together in a heatproof bowl. Melt over hot water or in the microwave on full power for about 2 minutes, stirring half way through, until smooth and completely melted.
2. Set aside to cool a little.
3. Mix a couple of tablespoons of the whipped cream into the caramel mixture and fold in the remaining whipped cream and spoon into 4 x size 1 ramekins or glasses.
4. Transfer to the fridge to set for about an hour for a soft set or over night for a firmer set.
5. Decorate with a blob of cream and sliced or whole Maltesers.

Still yummy though..
