Ingredients
Scale
1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
1 cup milk chocolate, chopped
1 cup white chocolate, chopped
2 cups heavy cream, divided
5 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cocoa powder, for dusting top
Instructions
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate gently, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Set aside in the refrigerator.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until pale and fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted dark and milk chocolate mixture until well combined.
Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until just combined. This helps lighten the mixture. Repeat with the remaining cream in two more additions.
Repeat the above steps using the white chocolate. Melt the white chocolate, then combine it with the egg yolks and sugar in a separate bowl. Fold in the remaining whipped cream as before.
In a springform pan, pour the dark chocolate mousse as the first layer, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Next, add the white chocolate mousse layer and refrigerate again until set.
Chill the entire cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture. When ready to serve, dust with cocoa powder and slice.
