How to make Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake
Making this cake is easier than you might think! With just a few simple steps, you can layer three types of chocolate into a smooth and creamy dessert. Follow along, and you’ll have a beautiful cake that tastes as good as it looks!
Ingredients :
- 200g milk chocolate
- 200g white chocolate
- 6 large eggs
- 300ml heavy cream
- 150g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 200g dark chocolate
Directions :
Begin by melting the dark chocolate and set it aside to cool. In a bowl, whisk the egg whites and sugar together until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the cooled dark chocolate into the egg whites, followed by the whipped cream. Repeat the process with the milk chocolate and white chocolate for the next two layers, following the same folding technique. In a cake mold, start layering the mousses: dark chocolate first, followed by milk and then white chocolate. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, allowing the layers to set before serving.
