Goodbye to Autumn with a Green Apple, Caramel and Milk Chocolate Mousse
Even though I live in an area where the changes in season are very mild and rarely apparent, I love to celebrate it and reflect it in whatever I am doing. We will be entering the winter season in a couple of days and I am having visions of white snow, branches and icicles just like all these flickr favorites that I have been bookmarking lately… I dream of one day spending winter solstice in Iceland.
My parents left this week leaving me a bit in shambles. It always takes me a few days to get adjusted to not having them around. It is always bittersweet. I made these bavarian mousse cakes for their going away dinner with some caramel cake and layers of green apple, caramel and milk chocolate bavarian. I promise to give you the recipe soon, but with all the holiday prep and organizing for our coming trip, I misplaced the sheet of paper where I wrote it all down. Soon, I promise.
In the meantime, I hope you are enjoying the last days of autumn before winter arrives. Have a great weekend everybody!
Magnificent! A delightful dessert!
Cheers,
Rosa
So pretty, as usual :)
The branches looks so forlorn! Beautiful snaps!
Trop, trop beau !!
Ohh…I know how it feels when parents come to visit and then go away again. Always takes a few days of getting used to…
Your cakes are beautiful!! What are those dark little fruits with stems still attached to them? I’m sure your parents were very happy with them!!
Oh, and I can’t believe you have the intention to spend winter in Iceland!! Never for me, thank you very much. -20 degree Celsius was the coldest I have been, and I don’t like it one bit!! Though I’d do anything for a traditional white American Christmas like those ones in Disney family movies…
What a pity your parents have left already! I thought they’d be spending Christmas with you. Those mousse cakes look like a great way to send them off though.
Beautiful!
We said goodbye to Fall awhile ago. We definitely have seasons as I have about 5 inches of snow outside right now.
As alwalys you have created a beautiful dessert that no doubt tastes as good as it looks.
stunning!!! flavors sound incredible and the jeux quatre might be my favorite!!!!
Looks really good. I love this kind of dessert!
Ah yes, goodbyes are always so bittersweet – hang in there!!
SUCH a divine dessert.
Christy- the little dried berries are from a berry tree that is right outside my house. It is now completely brown but in the summer it gives these dark green and red berries (never attempted to eat them). I just thought they complimented the mood I was trying to convey. And yes, I’d love to see the shortest day of the year in Iceland!
Thank you!
So pretty, Aran!
I so love autumn and I hate saying goodbye to it. Your dessert is a fitting sendoff to my favorite season!
I want one fro breakfast…Am I evil? ehehehe!
its so so pretty…….the gold lead on the mousse just nice!!!
These look absolutely sophisticated. I’m sure your parents must’ve loved them!
Gorgeous desserts! Sorry your parents couldn’t have stayed longer.
absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait for the recipes.
Enjoy your nice weather! Believe me, winter gets old pretty quick when it snows from October to May!
i happened to stumble on your blog, what a beautiful creation! sounds yummy too.
These look great. You have a nice collection of faves too. I am going to go fave a bunch of them myself.
Aw thanks for including me. =]
what a lovely parting treat for your parents. beautiful and thoughtful!
my fiance has a fascination with iceland and i hope to someday take him there.
aran, you’re photos are just so so stunning!
I wonder which is the best : le picture or the dessert ;o) Looks so delightful !
I’m a fairweather friend to Autumn–if winter means sweets like this, I’m moving on with pleasure! :-)
Absolutely devine..stunning photos and I bet the dessert tastes yummy!
ahk so perfect and little and round! iceland eh, i would love to go too! but as for living in snow…hmmm i might like it if it wasn’t extreme. Right now the snow is level with my porch…it’s crippling, it shuts things down, people are going crazy…4 feet and rising. boooo.
Autumn has definitely run away here in Utah. It has been snowing all day long and is still going strong. This dessert looks absolutely beautiful! Happy Holidays!
never ceases to amaze me… you are so fancy! :)
A gorgeous dessert! It looks absolutely delicious.
These look interesting and delicious!
these look so nice. Eager to get the recipe :)
Super lovely homage.
It looks incredible. I love this combination. I always have trouble when my parents go. Completely understand.
A fabulous photo.
Merry Christmas.
These look beautiful… I am no pastry chef myself so am trying to get inspiration for a dinner party tomorrow. Thank you!

These look insane amazing.
wow!!! these are AMAZING!! we’re can i find their recipe? i’m sure my husband would just love them, he’s a sucker for caramel apples!!
This is such a wonderful combination of texture and taste!
How did you get all the layers to smoothly level out when working with a ring mold? I always have the most difficult time getting all the layers lay out evenly!!! As usual, your creation always fascinates me!
Anonymous- bavarians are pretty runny at first so once poured into the ring mold, they spread well. Freeze after each layer to set it well. Good luck!
This mousse creation looks amazing. Waiting for your recipe ^^
Have a nice day
(I’ll continue reading your fabulous blog)
This looks so amazing, did you ever get the recipe posted? I didnt seem to find it.
