Instructions
Step 1
Start by finely chopping the dark chocolate into small pieces.
In a bowl, add 100 milliliters (about 1/2 cup) of the heavy cream and heat gently until just simmering.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, pour the remaining 100 milliliters (approximately 1/2 cup) of heavy cream.
Using an electric mixer, whip it until stiff peaks form. Take care not to overmix as the cream can become grainy.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and thick. This should take about 5 minutes.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold until fully combined.
Step 4
Now, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-egg mixture. Use a spatula and be careful to keep the volume.
Ensure that no streaks of cream remain for a smooth, airy mousse.
Step 5
Pour the mousse into a serving dish or individual cups.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
Step 6
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh berries.
Enjoy your rich and fluffy chocolate mousse cake with family and friends!

Faq
- What temperature should I bake my pastries at?
Most pastries bake well at 375°F (190°C). It’s the sweet spot for achieving a nice golden color and flaky texture!
- How do I know when my pastries are done?
Your pastries are done when they’re golden brown on the top and feel firm to the touch. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Can I freeze my pastries for later?
Absolutely! Once cooled, you can freeze pastries in an airtight container. Just make sure to thaw them in the fridge before serving!
- What’s the best way to store leftover pastries?
Keep your leftover pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If longer, consider freezing them!
- How can I create a flaky pastry?
The key is keeping your ingredients cold and not overworking the dough. Use chilled butter and ice-cold water when mixing!
- Can I add different fillings to the pastries?
Yes! Get creative with your fillings. You can use fruits, nuts, chocolate, or custards—whatever you love!
