Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
8 oz milk chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 oz white chocolate, chopped
3 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix chocolate wafer crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool completely.
For the dark chocolate mousse: Melt dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave and let it cool slightly. In a bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold in the melted dark chocolate.
For the milk chocolate mousse: Melt milk chocolate and whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff, then fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate.
For the white chocolate mousse: Melt white chocolate and beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whisk in the melted white chocolate.
Layer each mousse on top of the cooled crust, starting with the dark chocolate mousse, then the milk chocolate mousse, and finally the white chocolate mousse.
Chill for 4-6 hours or overnight to set.
Garnish with extra chocolate shavings or whipped cream before serving.

How to Serve Indulgent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

How to Store Indulgent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. Cover the cake with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out. It can be stored for about 3-4 days, but we bet it won’t last that long!

Tips to Make Indulgent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor. The better the chocolate, the better the mousse.
Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, so the mousse is light and airy.
Let it chill overnight if you can. This gives the mousse time to set properly for a perfect slice.

Variation

You can add a layer of fruit, like raspberries or strawberries, between the chocolate mousse layers for a fresh twist. This adds a nice tartness that complements the chocolate well.
