Instructions

Heat the sugar with 1 tablespoon of water in a saucepan over medium heat until you get an amber caramel, without stirring.
Off the heat, carefully add the remaining water (watch out for splashes), then let it cool slightly.
Beat the egg yolks and incorporate them into the lukewarm caramel, mixing well.
Whip the cold liquid cream into firm chantilly with the vanilla.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form firm peaks.
Gently fold the chantilly, then the egg whites, into the caramel mixture, lifting the preparation.
Divide the mousse among cups and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
