It features rich dark chocolate, smooth milk chocolate, and light white chocolate mousse layered over a soft chocolate sponge cake, topped with a glossy chocolate glaze, and finished with fresh mint and chocolate chunks. Perfect for a special occasion or a luxurious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 layer chocolate sponge cake (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
  • 8 oz milk chocolate, melted
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar, divided
  • 3 tsp gelatin, divided
  • 1/2 cup water (for dissolving gelatin)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chocolate Layers:
    • Dark Chocolate Mousse: Dissolve 1 tsp gelatin in 2 tbsp water. Whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the melted dark chocolate and dissolved gelatin. Spread the mixture over the sponge cake layer and refrigerate.
    • Milk Chocolate Mousse: Repeat the process with 1 tsp gelatin, 2 tbsp water, and the milk chocolate. Spread on top of the dark chocolate mousse and refrigerate.
    • White Chocolate Mousse: Repeat the process for the white chocolate layer. Spread over the milk chocolate mousse and refrigerate again.
  • Make the Chocolate Glaze:
    Heat 1/2 cup cream and pour over 8 oz dark chocolate, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly and pour over the chilled cake. Smooth it out evenly.
  • Garnish:
    Decorate with fresh mint leaves and extra chocolate chunks for an elegant finish.
  • Chill and Serve:
    Allow the cake to set in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours before slicing and serving. Enjoy the layers of chocolate bliss!

Notes

  • Ensure the mousse layers are fully set before adding the next one.
  • You can use a store-bought chocolate sponge cake to save time.
