  • 4 oz white chocolate
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream, divided

  5. For the dark chocolate mousse: Melt dark chocolate and cool slightly. Bloom 1 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp cold water. Whip 1 cup cream to soft peaks, add dissolved gelatin and 1/2 tsp vanilla, then fold in melted chocolate. Spread over cake base and chill until firm.

Notes

  • Chill each mousse layer for 30–45 minutes before adding the next.
  • Use a hot knife for clean slices.
  • Store refrigerated up to 5 days in an airtight container.
  • Not suitable for freezing due to mousse texture changes.
  • Substitute agar-agar for a vegetarian version.
  • Try a different base like Oreo crust or gluten-free cake for variation.
