Instructions
-
Prepare the crust:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine the crushed chocolate biscuits with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
-
Make the cheesecake layer:
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and the melted dark chocolate until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture over the cooled crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the centre is set. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
-
Prepare the mousse layers:
- For each mousse (dark, milk, and white chocolate), melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In separate bowls, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate for each mousse, one layer at a time.
-
Assemble the cheesecake:
- Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the dark chocolate mousse over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- Follow with the milk chocolate mousse layer, spreading evenly. Refrigerate again for 15 minutes.
- Finally, spread the white chocolate mousse on top. Refrigerate the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
-
Garnish and serve:
- Decorate the top with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired. Slice and enjoy this rich, decadent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake!
Notes
- For best results, let the cheesecake set overnight before serving.
- You can use different types of chocolate for the mousse layers or adjust the sweetness to your preference.
