Ingredients for Chocolate Mousse Cake

The Crust of this chocolate mousse cake is made with only 2 ingredients which are Digestive biscuits or Lotus Biscoff Biscuits crumbs and Melted Butter. The start of this cake is this easy, the filling will be super easy for sure.

For the creamy, airy, and rich filling of chocolate mousse cake, we will need only 3 ingredients that are easily available in the market to get our hands on it. The star ingredient is, of course, Dark Chocolate, buy a bar of good quality chocolate that has at least 70% of dark chocolate in it. Fresh Cream and Heavy Whipping Cream will give us a creamy filling

Directions for Chocolate Mousse Cake

Step 1

Starting with the start ingredients of mousse cake, which is 70% dark chocolate. Roughly chop the bar of chocolate and melt it over a double boiler.

Keep stirring it with a silicon spatula which will help it melt faster. Once the chocolate is melted let it cool completely

What is a double boiler?
Fill a saucepan with about one inch of over and set the heat to medium. Place a heat-proof above the saucepan in which the roughly chopped dark chocolate is. This double boiler method melts the chocolate evenly and slowly. This way is always better than melting the chocolate over direct heat because then the chances of burning it are high.

Place the bowl over the saucepan once the water comes to a simmer and do not let the water touch the bottom surface of the heat-proof bowl

Step 2

For the base of chocolate mousse cake
Add crushed digestive biscuits into a bowl and melted butter. Mix it really well so that the crumbs are evenly coated.

Transfer the biscuit crumbs to the bottom of the springform pan. Press down evenly making a bottom layer of crust.
Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.

Springform pan has a lock on the sides and a removable bottom, that helps the cake to come out easily and neatly.

Step 3

For the filling of chocolate mousse cake
Get your hands on Rich’s Whip Topping Heavy Whipping Cream which is a non-dairy cream and is easily available.

Pour the whipping cream into a bowl that can hold double the quantity of whipping cream that we are using. Whip it with an electric blender until it forms soft peaks
The cream has turned fluffy and doubled in volume.

The cream that you are using must have at least 30% of fat content. A cream with less than 30% fat content will not whip up and give soft or firm peaks.
Ensure that the cream is cold which helps to reach the desired consistency quickly or else place a bowl full of ice cubes below the bowl of whipping cream

Step 4

Take the bowl of cooled melted dark chocolate and pour a cup of warm cream in it, adding cream will not let the dark chocolate set once added to the whipped cream. Mix both nicely and then pour it in the whipped cream. Fold the mixture with a spatula.

Step 5

Line the edges of the springform pan with parchment paper so that once the cake is de-molded the edges are smooth.
Level the filling evenly so that the chocolate mousse cake looks nice and neat.

Set it in the refrigerator for 8 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 6

Once the chocolate mousse cake is set take out the parchment paper.

Decorate the cake with peanut butter, cookie butter, chocolate ganache, and biscuit crumb, or sprinkle some cocoa powder, top it with strawberry or any fruit of your choice or have the chocolate mousse cake as it is.
