Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream (for dark chocolate mousse)
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for dark chocolate mousse)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for milk chocolate mousse)

- 2 tablespoons sugar (for milk chocolate mousse)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for white chocolate mousse)
- 200g white chocolate, chopped

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create the base. Chill in the refrigerator.
- For the dark chocolate mousse: Heat the heavy cream until hot (not boiling). Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then fold in the sugar. Pour this over the chilled base and refrigerate.
- Repeat the process for the milk chocolate mousse and layer it over the dark chocolate mousse. Chill again.
- Repeat the process for the white chocolate mousse and layer it on top of the milk chocolate mousse. Chill the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings.
Notes
Ensure the chocolate is finely chopped for easy melting. Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor. Each mousse layer should chill until firm before adding the next layer for best results.
