G'Day Steemers Today I have a wicked dessert for you. Very easy to make and it's like chocolate heaven. Three layers, different textures and different flavours. It makes an awesome dinner party dessert so try it out soon!
Onto the recipe
Ingredients
Base
15 digestive cookies
6 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
85g dark chocolate, broken up
Mousse
400 g dark chocolate, chopped
2 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped
Ganache
2 cups heavy cream, hot
450g dark chocolate finely chopped
**Method**Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the digestive biscuits or graham crackers, melted butter and dark chocolate until crumbled. Pour into the base of a 9 inch lined springform pan and press down evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Melt 400g of chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool. Now add whipped heavy cream to the cooled chocolate in batches and fold gently to combine. Pour on top of the base and spread evenly. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 3
Once the mousse is set, make the ganache. Add hot heavy cream to chocolate. Let it sit for 1 minute then stir together starting in the middle until completely combined. Remove mousse from springform pan leaving it on the base and set over a rack. Pour warm ganache over chilled mousse cake and let it drip over the sides. Gently tap the tray to pop any air bubbles. Transfer to fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Step 4
Slice and get stuck into that bad boy!
Enjoy and have a great day!
