Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 480 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (chopped, for ganache)
- 150 milliliters Heavy cream (for ganache)
- 50 grams Chocolate shavings or curls (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan by greasing it lightly or lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Let it cool slightly.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 360 milliliters of heavy whipping cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Fold the melted chocolate gently into the whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the mixture. This forms the chocolate mousse layer.
Spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Freeze for 2 hours or until firm.
To prepare the ganache, heat 150 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the frozen mousse layer, spreading it evenly. Freeze for another hour or until the ganache is set.
Before serving, garnish the top with chocolate shavings or curls, if desired. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier slicing.
Remove the cake from the springform pan, slice, and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer, covered tightly, for up to one week.
