Instructions
- Prepare the Crust
In a small bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the mousse. - Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse
Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to steam (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture becomes smooth. Let it cool slightly, then stir in the sugar.
Pour this mousse over the chilled crust and refrigerate for about 30–40 minutes to allow it to set slightly. - Prepare the Milk Chocolate Mousse
Repeat the same process by heating the cream and pouring it over the chopped milk chocolate. Stir until smooth, then mix in the sugar.
Carefully spread this layer over the chilled dark chocolate mousse and return the cake to the refrigerator. - Prepare the White Chocolate Mousse
Heat the final cup of heavy cream and pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Add the sugar and mix well.
Spread the white chocolate mousse over the milk chocolate layer. - Chill the Cake
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until all layers are fully set. - Garnish and Serve
Before serving, decorate the top with chocolate shavings for a beautiful finishing touch. Slice and serve chilled.
