Decadent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake /Pie has a Chocolate almond crust, a dark Chocolate mousse, a lighter mousse. No palm oil Makes 1 8 inch pan Jump to Recipe



I told you. This year is going to be chocolatey. Be ready for a Chocolate Coma. This insanely delicious and decadent Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake or Pie has a chocolate oat almond crust, a dark chocolate mousse layer and a lighter chocolate mousse layer. Top it with vanilla ice cream for the best ever dessert.

The entire cake has 7 oz of cocoa/cacao butter which is what keeps the mousse solid enough to not be liquid. The chocolate I used is Theo’s dark chocolate which also uses cocoa butter and no other random oils. So There is no palm oil in this huge cake! I used a bit of tofu to add volume, which can be easily replaced by very thick cashew cream. The 7 oz Cocoa butter is enough to set the mousse layers. If you do not want to eat anything other than mousse, skip the crust and make 2 layers mousse cake.

Death by Chocolate Mousse!

You can use a baked chocolate cake/torte like this one, as the bottom layer instead of the Oat almond layer. That will be an even taller mousse cake. This is quite a decadent dessert and can easily serve a party of 10 to 12.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to finish off this piece before the Ice cream melts.





Yeah, do not go on my pouring skills. or cleaning up the edges skills 😉 This Cake = Awesome!

One day, some weeks ago, I was craving some chocolate. Most of the options in stores or restaurants use a good amount of shortening/butter that is palm oil based and it always bugs me to consume that much palm oil, sustainable or not. So I was looking in my pantry and happened upon my stash of cocoa butter (I had 3 containers that I got early this year when they were on sale!) and hence came this mousse cake. It is not all black and white either though. Palm oil industry has serious impact on environmental, animal life (orangutans and others), people and sustainable practices are still questionable, while Cocoa industry is surrounded by unfair farming practices, child labor and more. Fair trade cocoa product partners list can be found here.

I never got around to using the cocoa butter jars because it is difficult to melt the cocoa butter to get a small amount out. So I melted the whole container and made this tall tall mousse cake. 2 layers of mousse and a crust. Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!
