The Chocolate Garnishes

I topped my caramel mousse cake with delicate and stunning chocolate garnishes. These are so easy to make at home and they really elevate any dessert to a new level! I have an in-depth video tutorial for making these garnishes. Check out that video HERE for more details!

No-Bake Caramel Cheesecake

I also call this my No-Bake Caramel Cheesecake since this recipe does include a bit of cream cheese. While it’s definitely not as dense as a regular cheesecake, this version still has that delicious flavor!The cheese helps stabilize the cream, helping it set better, and it provides great taste. If you don’t like the tangy flavor of cream cheese, mascarpone cheese will also work well for this no-bake cheesecake!

Raspberry Caramel Mousse Cake Recipe (video)

2 hours hrs prep + 6 hours hrs Setting Time

14 servings

Elegant caramel mousse cake with surprise raspberry center, whipped cream and chocolate art!

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric

  • 10 graham crackers, 1 1/2 cups (128 g) graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 3 oz raspberry jell-o mix

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1 cup iced water

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

  • 8 oz cream cheese or mascarpone, softened

  • 1 cup caramel sauce, or dulce de leche

  • 2 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled

  • 3 tsp unflavored gelatin

  • 3 tbsp water

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries

For Chocolate Art (Optional):

  • 1 cup dark chocolate melts

  • 1/2 cup red chocolate melts

Instructions

  • Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with plastic wrap; or, use a silicone pan. In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the raspberry gelatin mixture and 1 cup boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, then add the iced water. Arrange 1 cup of fresh raspberries around the edges of the pan and in the center. Pour the prepared gelatin over the raspberries. Place the jello into the refrigerator to set; about 1 hour.

  • Meanwhile, prepare the graham cracker crust. This cake can be made with regular or chocolate crackers. Place them into a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again until the crumbs are well coated. Transfer the crumbs into a 9-inch spring form pan. Using a large spoon, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan to form an even and firm crust.

  • When raspberry jello has set, prepare the caramel mousse. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese or mascarpone and caramel sauce for a few minutes, until smooth and creamy. Add the chilled heavy cream and beat again until stiff peaks form, another 3 to 4 minutes.

  • In a small ramekin, combine the unflavored gelatin and water; stir to combine until no clumps remain. Heat the gelatin in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour the hot gelatin into the mousse mixture and mix again for 1 minute, until well combined.

  • Remove the raspberry jello from refrigerator and invert into the 9-inch spring form pan onto the crust. Remove the pan, then gently remove the plastic wrap and discard. Pour the prepared caramel mousse over the raspberry layer, giving the pan a few hard taps to rid of any air pockets. Level the top with an off-set spatula. Place the cake into the refrigerator to set for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.

  • Once cake has set, transfer onto a cake stand and garnish with whipped cream and more raspberries.

For Chocolate Art:

  • For Chocolate Garnish: melt both the dark chocolate and red chocolate melts in separate bowls. Measure out a 16×3-inch strip of acetate or plastic cake collar. First, pour the red chocolate onto the acetate and use a spatula to spread it in an even layer. Use a honeycomb bench scraper to create designs in the chocolate. Allow the first layer of chocolate to set completely before adding the dark chocolate. Place the sheet into the refrigerator for 1 to 2 minutes to set faster.

  • Pour the dark chocolate over the first layer and use a spatula to spread evenly. Allow the chocolate to semi-set, then use a sharp knife to score the chocolate into triangles. Once chocolate has set completely, carefully peel away from the acetate.

    wow! This is super-sexy! Shouldn’t we bake the crust for a few minutes? Does it hold its shape without baking?

      Thank you! You can certainly bake it. I think it depends on what type of cookies you use but those tender to hold up well 🙂

        Thank you !! One more question, would I still have to cover the cake in buttercream in order to do the mirror glaze ?

        • Reply
          • tatyanaseverydayfood

          No, not necessary for mousse cakes. Just smooth the sides with a spatula.

    I could probably use frozen raspberries in the Jello part huh?

      Also, would strawberries work with the above recipe instead if raspberries? And would the base taste better with brownie? Please leave suggestions ?

      • Reply
      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      You can use this same recipe without the raspberry center for a plain no-bake caramel cheesecake. Strawberries would also work well 🙂

    One more question, I gotta organize a birthday party, so please suggest me, If acoording to you, the red velvet strawberry mousse cheesecake, or the rasberry mousse cheesecake or a caramel cheesecake would turn out to be great?

      I’m so glad you enjoy my recipes! 🙂 I think the red velvet cheesecake is the most festive for a birthday party. I also love my tripe coffee cheesecake 🙂

    Hi! I’d love to make this. I only have regular 9 inch springform pans – not the tall one you have. Would it still work okay, or would it overflow if I don’t used the extra tall one?

      • tatyanaseverydayfood

      Hi! You should be just fine with a regular spring form pan. This cake isn’t too tall, I add the plastic to make it easier to remove the cake from the pan. You can also spray the sides with a non-stick baking spray. Enjoy!
