Ingredients

Scale

    For the brownie base:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • pinch of salt
  • For the dark chocolate mousse:

  • 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • For the milk chocolate mousse:

  • 4 oz milk chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • For the white chocolate mousse:

  • 4 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Optional: cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or curls for garnish

Instructions

  1. For the brownie base: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. In a saucepan, melt the butter and semisweet chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18–20 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  2. For the dark chocolate mousse: Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of the cream with the sugar until warm. Stir into the melted chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly, then whip the remaining 1/2 cup cream to soft peaks and fold it into the chocolate mixture. Spread evenly over the cooled brownie base and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. For the milk chocolate mousse: Repeat the same process as with the dark chocolate mousse and spread it over the dark chocolate layer. Chill again for 30 minutes.
  4. For the white chocolate mousse: Prepare the white chocolate mousse using the same method and spread it on top. Chill the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set. Remove from springform pan and garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • To make clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it between cuts.
  • The cake is rich, so smaller portions go a long way.
