Ingredients
  

1 cup dulce de leche

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large egg whites

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon gelatin powder

2 tablespoons warm water

Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the dulce de leche and vanilla extract. Set aside.

      In another mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want it fluffy and light.

        In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

          Gently fold the whipped cream into the dulce de leche mixture until just combined.

            Next, fold in the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

              Finally, add the bloomed gelatin to the mousse mixture, folding gently until evenly distributed.

                Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

                  Once set, you can garnish with whipped cream, a drizzle of dulce de leche, and a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor.
