My First Attempt in Making a Plated Dessert. White Chocolate Mousse filled with Lemon Jelly, Covered in Salted Caramel Sauce. So many layers of flavour and everything goes so well together.
Don't judge me by the look of this dessert . I am trying my best. But I am sure this is not bad for first time.
You can see I have placed some coriander leaves. Since I ran out of mint leaves. But i want some pop of green colour for pictures. So i have no option other than coriander leaves.
Creating this recipe was a really good experience for me. Planning to make few more plated dessert. I will be sharing those recipe with you too.

- White chocolate mousse needs atleast 6 to 8 hours in freezer. You can place it overnight. For easy unmoulding.
- You can pour chocolate sauce on top of the dome instead of caramel sauce.
- And instead of lemon jelly you can use strawberry or any berries. Even oranges are good.
- The cake is optional, you can skip it if you feel it is too much work.
STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
