Have you ever heard of a Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake? Well, this is a chocolate lover’s dream recipe. It’s rich and creamy, and the perfect ending to a meal.
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that my favorite dessert is chocolate cake. It’s rich, moist and delicious, and there’s just something about eating one straight out of the oven that makes me feel like a kid again.
This gorgeous triple chocolate mousse cake is a real favorite. If you want to impress your guests with a dessert, it’s time to make this recipe. A creamy, airy filling on a moist cake base and lots of chocolate flavor. How can you not like it? There are several steps to making this cake, but all the layers are made the same way. Once you get the hang of it, you’re ready to work. The cake base gives the mousse cake a texture that many mousse cakes do not have. And each layer contains chocolate… and you can never have too much chocolate!
Preparation of triple chocolate mousse cake
The cake consists of several layers: an airy sponge cake base, then several layers of mousse cake, and then the glaze. The three layers of mousse (white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate) are prepared in the same way: First mix the gelatin with water and then add the gelatin mixture to the milk, chocolate and cream mixture. Each individual layer should be refrigerated for at least 40 minutes to ensure it has set. Do not add all layers at once!
The final step is to pour the chocolate icing over the cake. It is then placed in the refrigerator overnight to harden completely.
Tips
– This cake is softer than a regular sponge cake because it is mousse-like. Therefore, it is preferable to use a springform pan for the cake. If you can find mini baking tins, you can make individual triple chocolate mousse cakes for each guest.
– To make a vegan version, a few changes need to be made. The bottom of the cake can be replaced with a no-bake cake made with almond flour, dates, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. For the filling, you can make a mousse from coconut cream (whipped), cocoa powder (or any vegan chocolate) and vegan gelatin.
– To make a keto version, you can just replace the sugar with another type of sugar.
– Instead of the shortbread, make a simple cookie cake (chopped chocolate chip cookies mixed with butter).
