Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 400 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 400 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 200 grams Milk chocolate
- 100 ml Whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and 200 grams of dark chocolate over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
For the mousse layer, melt 200 grams of dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler and allow it to cool slightly.
Whisk the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the melted dark chocolate into the whipped cream until fully combined. Spread the mousse layer evenly over the cooled base and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
To make the ganache, heat the whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the mousse layer and spread evenly with an offset spatula. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Slice into portions and enjoy!
