Instructions: Place dulce de leche in a large bowl. Whisk cream until it thickens and holds its shape. Fold into the dulce de leche gently to make a mousse. Place mousse in 4 dishes and top each with 1/2 cup berries.

Drizzle on extra dulce de leche and run the point of a knife through it to make a pattern.

Serve with 3 beignets (recipe follows) on the side.

DULCE DE LECHE:
Combine milk and sugar in a large heavy pot. Bring to a boil. Add soda and turn the heat to medium-low. Stir until froth subsides, about 15 minutes. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally so that milk solids do not form. Continue cooking until mixture begins to thicken - the whole process can take up to 2 hours, depending on the width of you pot and the heat of your stove. When the froth and the milk are about the same color star to stir continuously, usually about 15 minutes or until you can see the bottom of the pan when you draw a wooden spoon through the mixture. It will be quite thick and spreadable. Pour into a bowl to cool.
