Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) milk chocolate, chopped
- 150 grams (5.3 ounces) white chocolate, chopped
Cream and Stabilizers:
- 600 milliliters (20.3 fluid ounces) heavy cream, cold
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers and Stabilizers:
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- 6 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Activate gelatin by sprinkling over warm water and allow to bloom for 1 minute, creating a smooth foundation for each chocolate layer.
- Utilize a double boiler or microwave to gently melt chocolate for each distinct layer, ensuring a velvety texture while incorporating sugar and vanilla.
- Let melted chocolate cool slightly to prevent compromising the whipped cream’s delicate structure.
- Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, creating an airy base for the mousse.
- Incorporate dissolved gelatin into the melted chocolate, blending carefully to maintain a uniform consistency.
- Fold chocolate mixture into whipped cream with gentle, deliberate motions until perfectly integrated and smooth.
- Create the dark chocolate layer by pouring mousse into a 9-inch springform pan, smoothing the surface meticulously.
- Refrigerate dark chocolate layer for 12 hours at 40°F until completely set and firm.
- Once dark layer is solid, carefully spread milk chocolate mousse in an even layer over the previous section.
- Return dessert to refrigerator and chill milk chocolate layer for an additional 12 hours.
- Complete the dessert by layering white chocolate mousse on top, ensuring a perfectly smooth surface.
- Refrigerate final layer for 4-6 hours or overnight until completely set.
- Carefully remove from springform pan and slice into elegant portions.
- Embellish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder dusting, or fresh berries for a sophisticated presentation.
- Serve chilled for maximum flavor and textural enjoyment.
Notes
- Chill each layer thoroughly to ensure clean, distinct chocolate layers without mixing or bleeding colors.
- Use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for rich, intense flavor and smooth texture.
- Stabilize whipped cream by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or gelatin to maintain structure and prevent weeping.
- Customize the dessert by using dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream for a vegan-friendly version that maintains creamy consistency.
