- 3 cups heavy cream, divided
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for each mousse layer)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
Directions:

Prepare the Crust – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

Make the Mousse Layers – In separate bowls, whip 1 cup of heavy cream for each mousse layer until soft peaks form. Melt the dark, milk, and white chocolate in separate bowls, adding 1/4 cup powdered sugar to each. Gently fold the whipped cream into each chocolate mix until light and fluffy.

Assemble the Cake – Once the crust is cooled, spoon the dark chocolate mousse on top and smooth it out. Follow with the milk chocolate mousse, smoothing it evenly, then finish with the white chocolate mousse layer. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.

Make the Ganache – Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a saucepan until it simmers. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate, let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Drizzle over the chilled cake for an extra touch of decadence. Enjoy your chocolate bliss!
