Chocolate Mousse Cake

This chocolate mousse requires only 3 ingredients. It’s so easy to make because all you have to do is melt the chocolate, mix it, refrigerate it and serve. For the chocolate make sure you use one with at least 50% cocoa, if you want to sweeten your chocolate you can add sugar. For the base, you can use any cookie or biscuit of your choice. You will use a 12 cm round cake mold, and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Add about 6 Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush them until as fine as possible then add a tablespoon of fresh cream and rub it in until the cookie crumbs are moist. Place the moist cookie crumbs in the prepared cake mold and flatten it to form a base. Place it in the fridge until ready to use. Into a mixing bowl, add fresh heavy cream and whip it with an electric whisk on high speed for about 8 minutes or until thick and stiff. Set it aside.

Chop 150 grams of dark chcolate into small chunks and place the chunks in a medium-sized bowl. Place the bowl with the chcolate in the microwave and melt it at an interval of 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, remove it from the microwave and whisk it then return it until it is melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate over a hot water bath. Take a bowl bowl with hot water then place the bowl with the chocolate over the bowl with hot water and let the chcolate melt.

Whisk it as it melts until smooth. Scoop the cream, add it to the chocolate, and mix it until incorporated. Add another scoop and fold it in, repeat with the rest of the cream folding it in until you have a smooth chocolate-like batter. Do not overmix the batter. If you overmix it, the mixture will become less fluffy. Bring the mold out of the refrigerator and add in the cream batter. Smoothen the top and cover with a plastic wrap then refrigerate it for 6 hours.

Free the cake from the mold and place it on a serving plate, dust the top with cocoa powder, slice and serve. This smooth, thick, delicious dessert will be your new favourite.
