Chocolate Mousse Cake, a spectacular and delicious recipe for a truly special Christmas cake! It is a triple chocolate Bavarian cake. Its peculiarity is that it is formed in the mold, which gives it the final shape of a star cake! Light and delicious, quite easy to prepare!
Chocolate Mousse Cake is a layered cake with dark, white and milk chocolate mousse, without butter, without flour and without oven. And the cooking is only a few minutes, just to heat the mixture. You know how much I love chocolate layered cakes like the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake that I proposed to you some time ago. The Cheesecake with jam and Nutella is also cute. The optical effect of the layers has always given me so much satisfaction!
Being a cake with chocolate mousse, it is very light and melts in the mouth. For this reason I find it perfect among Christmas cakes, as a dessert on Christmas Eve or for Christmas lunch, but also as a New Year's Eve cake.
Chocolate mousse cake is a quick and easy dessert to prepare that everyone will love, adults and children! The special thing about this recipe is that it only needs few ingredients to be prepared: dark chocolate, fresh cream, biscuits and a little butter and that's it!
The cake has a really delicious and elegant appearance and chocolate lovers will be immediately enchanted! We can make it as a birthday cake for children, but also for adults. If you love mousse you can also try making the coffee mousse cake and the lemon mousse cake, both delicious!
The secret of the recipe is the ganache used in two different ways. The cake mousse is a whipped ganache, while the delicious chocolate covering is still a ganache, this time used simply at room temperature!
Offer this cake as a dessert for a dinner with friends or relatives, I'm sure your guests will like it a lot! Here is the recipe for the Chocolate Mousse Cake!

Ingredients for a mould of approximately 22/24 cm
- 30 ladyfingers
- 150 g mascarpone
- 50 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Chocolate chips to taste
- Almond liqueur to taste
For the chocolate mousse:
- 100 g mascarpone
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 50 g icing sugar
- 150 ml whipping cream
Preparation of the chocolate mousse
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, once melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
In a bowl, combine the mascarpone with the icing sugar and mix the two ingredients well, then add the already cold chocolate and mix.
Whip the cream and incorporate it into the mascarpone cream, very delicately and little by little with the help of a spatula. Keep in the fridge for about an hour.
Preparation of the Christmas cake
Pour the mascarpone into a bowl, add the chocolate chips, sugar and cinnamon, blend well with the whisks, until everything is well combined.
Prepare the syrup with the almond liqueur and water.
For this cake, it is preferable to use a springform pan. Place a layer of mascarpone on the bottom, then arrange a layer of ladyfingers soaked in the syrup and repeat with another layer of mascarpone and ladyfingers. Now put the cake in the fridge for about an hour or in the freezer for half an hour. This step will help the ingredients to compact better and make the cake more stable.
After this time, take the cake and gently remove the cake pan. Now, with the help of a spatula, spread the entire Christmas cake with the chocolate mousse prepared previously. Always with the chocolate mousse, but inserted in a piping bag with a nozzle, finish the cake by decorating it as you like. I tried to draw a Christmas tree, but you, surely better than me, can give vent to your imagination and create any decoration.
