How to Make the Triple Chocolate Mousse Torte

1. Prepare the Crust

4. White Chocolate Mousse Layer

• For the final layer, melt the white chocolate, whip the remaining cream with sugar, and fold together.
• Spread over the milk chocolate mousse.

Tips for the Best Triple Chocolate Mousse Torte

• Chill each layer: Don’t rush! Allow each layer to set completely before adding the next. This keeps the layers distinct and gorgeous.
• Use good-quality chocolate: With three different types of chocolate, using high-quality chocolate makes a world of difference in flavor.
• For a smooth finish: Make sure your whipped cream is at soft peaks before folding into the chocolate, ensuring a mousse texture that’s light yet stable.
