Tips for Success and FAQ’s

Don’t let any water get into the chocolate when melt otherwise it will seize and be ruined. Use gently even heat to melt the chocolate, stirring regularly to distribute the heat.

Be sure to allow the Triple Chocolate Mousse cake to cool in the pan. It is far too delicate to turn out while warm. Then refrigerate overnight so that it sets and slices well.

Use the very best chocolate that you enjoy eating and serve it with berry compote or a cherry sauce. It is very rich and really you only need a small slice so it will serve 12 easily. Simply dust with cocoa or make a chocolate ganache to guild the lily.

Use a warm knife to cut the cake cleanly and wipe the knife after each slice.
