Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 250 ml heavy cream
- 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 1 batch chocolate glaze (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 20cm (8-inch) round springform pan by greasing it lightly and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
Crumble the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Melt 50 grams of the butter and mix it with the biscuit crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the base of the prepared pan and chill it in the refrigerator while you prepare the mousse layer.
Melt the dark chocolate and remaining 50 grams of butter together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whisked eggs until well combined.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and then fold it into the chocolate mixture to create a light, airy mousse.
Pour the chocolate mousse over the chilled biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
Once set, prepare the optional chocolate glaze or simply dust the top with cocoa powder for a matte finish.
Carefully release the springform pan and transfer the Chocolate Corvette to a serving plate.
Slice and serve chilled to enjoy this luxurious chocolate dessert!
