Anyone got a LAYERED or TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE recipe?

[aznerak]

Hi there

I am having a dinner party soon and would love to prepare a layered chocolate mousse, ideally with dark, milk and white choc layers.

Does anyone have a good recipe or even any recipe??

TIA

oooh - I had one once - can't lay my hands on it right now but could have a look later if you like?

Have a search on BBCgoodfood or UKTVfood and see if they have any

There is one in either Gary Rhodes pudding book, or Michel Roux, a passion for desserts. I know we have one somwhere, because I keep dropping hints. I could emnail it to you if you like?

OOh keepingitRia, yes please! Please email me at mummysyummys @ googlemail . com (obv without the spaces!)

I have searched high and low and have found one or two but they are american recipes with cups as measures which I am not overly confident with!

Tommy, if you find it, that would be brill.

Thanks so much!

will sort it for you today, maybe tonight as poorly DS.

Have found this one - is it that one you have?

here? I will do this if I can't find anoter but it is frozen and was looking for more of a mousse than an icecream

that one looks delicious familiar

found it! I did a bit sort out of all my recipes clippings recently which is lucky otherwise you would have been waiting til Christmas

Triple chocolate mousse cake

base: 275g milk chocolate digestives, crushed and mixed with 75g melted butter. Put into base of greased 23cm spring-form tin and chill while you make the filling

filling:
275g plain chocolate
75g butter
425ml double cream
3 medium egg whites
100g caster sugar
275g white chocolate
2 tbsp milk
sieved cocoa powder to decorate

1. Melt the plain chocolate and half the butter in bowl over simmering water. Remove from heat and stir. Leave to cool about 15 mins

1. Whip the cream into soft peaks. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and gradually mix in caster sugar to make meringue type mixture.

1. Gently fold in half the cream and half the meringue mix into the dark choclate. Cover and leave at room temperature.

1. Melt the white chocolate with remaining butter and milk in bowl over pan of water. Stir and leave for 15 mins. Fold in remaining cream acd meringue mix. Chill until thick enough to spoon

1. Place alternate spoonfuls of the chocoate mixtues on the base (to create a marbled effect) and level the surface. Chill until set and dust with cocoa powder to decorate.

IIRC it is a bit of a faff and uses a lot of bowls...but it is gorgeous - very rich and so calorific that I won't even tell you how many per slice but it is worth it for a special occasion.

Have fun

have just realised you wanted a layered one Mine isn't layered but still yummy

sorry. I had to go out unexpectedly! Will do it tomorrow.

Thanks Tommy, I have made one like that before but really wanted to do a layered mousse. Actually may well just do milk and dark chocolate now but any suggestions still gratefully received so KeepingitRia, if you have something and have the time, do share!

aznerak - I am sorry but it looks like the recipes I have are the same as the one you linked, and that I imagined the existence of the other

when do you need the recipe by? I have about a million other books that I can have a look at if you like, but it might take me a few days...

DH say just make choclate mousse in each flavour choclate and allow the first layer to set before adding the next layer. DOes that make any sense to you? (I may have the books, but I don't use them if I can help it)

In the end I did exactly what your DH said.

I am a proficient cook so it was actually very easy to make a dark choc mousse (I used 84% cocoa solids so it was incredibly dark and intense) with a much lighter, milk chocolate mousse on top. I did it in a loaf tin and then made some hazelnut brittle and strawberry and stem ginger compote with fresh strawberries.

IT went down a complete treat so i was really pleased

Thanks for all your help though

sounds delicious, glad it went well
