Ingredients
- 150 g chocolate crumbs cookies
- 60 g melted oil
- 170 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 28 g butter
- 30 ml water
- 240 ml fat cream (33-35%)
- 2 egg yolks
- 30 g sugar
- 170 g milk chocolate, chopped
- 28 g butter
- 30 ml water
- 240 ml fat cream (33-35%)
- 2 egg yolks
- 30 g sugar
- 170 g white chocolate, chopped
- 28 g butter
- 30 ml water
- 240 ml fat cream (33-35%)
- 2 egg yolks
- 30 g sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted oil until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a detachable cake pan and bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- For the dark chocolate mousse, melt the dark chocolate, butter, and water over a water bath until smooth and glossy.
- Whip the cream to stiff peaks in another bowl and beat egg yolks with sugar separately until pale and thick.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently incorporate the whipped cream.
- Spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cooled base and chill for 30 minutes.
- Repeat the process for the milk chocolate layer and spoon it on top of the chilled dark chocolate layer; smooth it out and chill for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the white chocolate mousse in the same way and pour it over the milk chocolate layer; chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Run a knife along the edges of the pan to release the cake, serve chilled, and garnish as desired.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Chill each layer thoroughly before adding the next to prevent mixing. Don’t rush the folding process; gentle hands yield fluffy mousse. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze without the white chocolate layer for longer storage. Always let it come to room temperature before serving. Enhance with garnishes like cocoa powder, fresh berries, or edible gold flakes when serving.
