How to Make Salted Caramel Mousse ROLO Cookie Cups
Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin pan.
- With an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg, then vanilla. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined. Add the mini chocolate chips.
- Fill mini muffin pan cups half full. Bake until edges are golden but center is still soft, about 11-12 minutes. Let cool in the pan about 5 minutes, then push Rolos in each of the cups upside down, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. (Don’t overbake unless you want crispy.)
Salted Caramel Mousse Filling
- Beat heavy cream, salted caramel sauce, confectioners’ sugar, and pudding mix in medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pipe mousse filling on top of cooled cookie cups and top with your favorite toppings.
Shortcuts
- Feel free to skip making the chocolate chip cookie dough and use store-bought chocolate chip cookie dough instead!
- Substitute store-bought whipped cream like Cool Whip (2 cups) if you don’t have fresh whipping cream for the mousse filling.
Fun Cookie Cup Options!
- If you’re a huge fan of cookie cups, these are perfect for birthdays, celebrations, small bite desserts and you can change the mousse cream flavor up with chocolate ice cream topping or even a few tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Are you a cookie dough lover? How about cookie dough upon cookie dough? You could use small scoops of this chocolate chip cookie dough recipe in place of the mousse, which would be soo yummy too!
- And feel free to eat them naked without frosting or mousse! 🙂
- Lastly, for even taking it up one more notch, lightly drizzle some caramel on top of each cookie with a light sprinkle of sea salt. Oh YES I did! Here’s a recipe for Salted Caramel if you want to make it home-made! Naked or with the caramel mousse.
