Instructions

Biscuit Base

  • Blend biscuits into fine crumbs, for example in a food processor.
  • Alternatively, you can crush the biscuits into crumbs with a rolling pin inside a freezer bag.
  • Add brown sugar.
  • Melt the butter and mix everything together well.
  • Press the biscuit base into a form with cake plastic and let it cool while you prepare the mousse.

Chocolate Mousse:

  • Soak gelatin in cold water.
  • Heat milk and melt the gelatin in the milk.
  • Melt the chocolate and stir the milk and chocolate together well.
  • Whip the cream until it's lightly stiff.
  • First fold a large spoonful of the cold whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to temper it, repeat and then fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining cream.
  • Pour the mousse onto the biscuit base and set the cake in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Chocolate Cream

  • Soak gelatin in cold water.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave and heat the cream in a saucepan.
  • Melt the gelatin in the warm cream and pour the cream over the slightly melted chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes before stirring it together into a glossy and delightful chocolate mixture.
  • Place the mixture in a freezer bag and cool it down completely to 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Put the cooled chocolate mixture in a bowl and whip it until it becomes light and airy. Be careful not to overwhip it.
  • Transfer the cream into a piping bag with a star nozzle.

Assembling the Cake

  • Take the cake out and remove the cake plastic. Pipe beautiful tops onto the cake with the chocolate cream and decorate with fresh berries before serving.
  • Enjoy your creation!
