Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 120 grams milk chocolate
- 120 grams white chocolate
- 480 ml heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 6 grams gelatin powder
- 45 ml water (for blooming gelatin)
Instructions
In three separate bowls, chop and prepare the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. Keep them ready for melting.
Bloom the gelatin powder by sprinkling it over 45 ml of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms and becomes spongy.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the bloomed gelatin gently until it turns into a smooth liquid. Do not let it boil. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat 160 ml of heavy whipping cream in a saucepan on medium-low heat until it just starts to steam, but do not boil. Pour 1/3 of the warm cream over each bowl of chocolate (dark, milk, and white). Let sit for 1 minute.
Using a whisk, stir each bowl of chocolate gently until smooth and melted. If necessary, place the bowl over a small pot of simmering water (double boiler method) to fully melt the chocolate.
Divide the melted gelatin liquid evenly between the three bowls of melted chocolate, whisking quickly to incorporate.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the remaining 320 ml of cold heavy whipping cream along with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream gently into each bowl of melted chocolate mixture, creating three distinct mousses: dark, milk, and white chocolate.
To assemble, layer the dark chocolate mousse at the bottom of serving glasses or a large dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to set before adding the next layer.
Repeat the process with the milk chocolate mousse, layering it over the dark chocolate mousse. Chill again for 15 minutes.
Finally, add the white chocolate mousse as the top layer. Smooth the surface if desired, and refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Serve chilled, garnished with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries as desired.
