Instructions
- Prepare the Base
Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and refrigerate while preparing the mousses. - Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse
Melt the dark chocolate with heavy cream until smooth. Let it cool slightly before gently folding in the whipped cream. Pour the dark chocolate mousse over the prepared base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. - Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse
Repeat the same process with the milk chocolate and heavy cream, folding in the whipped cream once cooled. Pour this layer over the dark chocolate mousse and smooth the surface. Chill for another 30 minutes. - Make the White Chocolate Mousse
Melt the white chocolate with heavy cream, then fold in the whipped cream once cooled. Spread this final layer over the milk chocolate mousse and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set completely. - Decorate and Serve
Sprinkle chocolate shavings or granulated chocolate on top for an elegant finish. Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and slice to serve.
Tips for Success
