Toffee Sauce
1/2 pound butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 cups whipping cream
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and stir frequently until mixture is deep caramel color. (Doesn't matter if butter and sugar separate at this point). Remove from heat and slowly add unwhipped whipping cream, stirring constantly. Let cool but warm before serving. Makes about 3 1/2 cups sauce. Cut Mousse into pie shaped pieces and cover with Toffee Sauce. Note: Mixture will bubble and release very hot steam when cream is added. Use whisk with long handle or wear over mitt for this step. |
