This Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake is a flourless chocolate cake with layers chocolate and white chocolate mousse. The great thing about this cake is that it is automatically gluten free and wheat free!

Today’s recipe is one of those decadent, showstopping and completely indulgent desserts that pop up, oh, every once in a while on this blog. The triple chocolate mousse cake is a recipe that sounds technical and looks hard to make and is very impressive when serving at a dinner party or to guests but is really quite easy to make. It doesn’t even take very long!

The flourless chocolate cake is rich and dense while remaining fluffy from the eggs. The great thing about this cake is that it doesn’t taste ‘eggy’. There are only three eggs needed to give the cake the lift it needs and as you may have heard me say before, I hate ‘eggy’ tasting things.



For the chocolate mousse, I went for a simple two ingredient mousse recipe. That means no uncooked eggs, no beating egg whites and trying to stabilize the mousse. All we need is melted chocolate and cream. The key for the mousse to be successful and become light and fluffy not a ganache is to whip 3/4 of the cream and melt the remaining 1/4 of the cream with the chocolate and then fold the chocolate mixture through the whipped cream. This ensures the chocolate doesn’t solidify when hitting the cool whipped cream and you end up with hard, lumpy chocolate cream! As you can see from the photos above, the mousse is very light and fluffy.

The white chocolate mousse is made the same way as the chocolate and then to finish this cake off we drizzle it with a chocolate ganache. The cake really does need to set in the fridge for a good two hours but preferably overnight, just so the mousse can set properly. I also like to make both mousses and the chocolate ganache while the flourless chocolate cake is cooking and then just store them in the fridge until each one is needed.
