Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and unsalted butter in a double boiler, stirring gently until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture.
- In a medium saucepan, cook granulated sugar over medium heat until golden amber. Add butter and heavy cream, stirring until smooth, then mix in the sea salt.

- Gently press on the sides to unmold the chilled mousse domes and serve chilled.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings before serving.

Chilling the mousse for longer enhances the flavor and texture.
