75g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, melted

For the Dark Chocolate Mousse

200g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream, cold
2 large egg yolks (optional, for richness)
2 tablespoons sugar

For the Milk Chocolate Mousse

200g (7 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream, cold

For the White Chocolate Mousse

200g (7 oz) white chocolate, chopped
300ml (1 1/4 cups) heavy cream, cold

Optional Garnishes

Chocolate shavings
Cocoa powder
Fresh berries

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan (22-23cm/9 inches) lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate while you prepare the mousses.

Step 2: Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse

Melt the dark chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts). Let it cool slightly.
If using egg yolks, whisk them with sugar until pale and thick. Fold into the melted chocolate.
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the chocolate mixture.
Spread the mousse over the chilled base and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse

Repeat the process as above, melting the milk chocolate and folding it with whipped cream (no egg yolks needed).
Spread over the dark chocolate mousse layer and refrigerate for another 30 minutes.

Step 4: Make the White Chocolate Mousse

Repeat the process with the white chocolate.
Spread the white chocolate mousse over the milk chocolate layer and smooth the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Carefully remove the torte from the springform pan.
Garnish with chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or fresh berries.
Slice with a sharp, warm knife for clean layers.

Pro Tips

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
To ensure clean layers, chill each mousse layer thoroughly before adding the next.
For an extra glossy top, add a layer of chocolate ganache on top before garnishing.
