How to Make Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate biscuits
1/4 cup melted butter
4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa recommended)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp unflavored gelatin (optional for stability)
4 oz milk chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp unflavored gelatin (optional)
4 oz white chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp unflavored gelatin (optional)
Chocolate curls

Fresh berries

Directions

Base: In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies or chocolate biscuits with melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the base. Set aside.
Dark Chocolate Mousse: Melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or double boiler. In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form. (Optional: Dissolve gelatin in water and add it to the chocolate mixture.) Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted dark chocolate. Pour this dark chocolate mousse over the cookie base and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Milk Chocolate Mousse: Melt the milk chocolate. In another mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form. (Optional: Dissolve gelatin in water and add it to the milk chocolate mixture.) Fold the whipped cream into the melted milk chocolate and pour it over the dark chocolate layer. Chill for another 30 minutes.
White Chocolate Mousse: Melt the white chocolate. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks form. (Optional: Dissolve gelatin in water and add it to the white chocolate mixture.) Fold the whipped cream into the melted white chocolate and pour it over the milk chocolate layer. Chill for at least 3-4 hours or overnight, until set.
Chill Completely: Make sure the cake is completely chilled and set before serving.
Decorate and Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan. Decorate with chocolate curls, dust with cocoa powder, and add fresh berries for a beautiful finish.
