Christmas Cranberry Caramel With a Chocolate Mousse

I love cranberries and always pile my christmas dinner plate high with cranberry sauce! They are also such an amazing ingredient to include in your sweet dishes though too as they add a nice sour bite. I wanted to create a dessert option that had the flavours of christmas but that was slightly different to the more conventional chocolate log or christmas pudding and I think this is definitely a great alternative. I can’t wait to serve this on Christmas day!

  • Whilst that is cooking, blend the dates in a food processor until smooth.

  • Add the blended dates to the pan along with the remaining cranberries and cook for a further 10 minutes or so until the cranberries are soft but not entirely broken down.

  • To assemble, spoon the caramel into the bottom of the glass and then top with the chocolate mousse.
