Triple Chocolate Mousse

I made this Triple Chocolate Mousse for Christmas and it’s been sitting in my archives ever since! I can’t believe how quickly time flies! I love all mousse and small portion desserts, so this recipe is an absolute keeper. Besides, who can say no to chocolate? This dessert is made up of 2 different mousses (a white chocolate mousse and a dark chocolate mousse) and a chocolate cake base. You can use any chocolate cake you like (including store bought sponge cake), but I used my eggless yogurt cake. I also added a little Grand Marnier to it for some orangy flavour. The final result was amazing and it’s sure to conquer any chocoholic’s heart! Enjoy and let me know what you think with a comment!
