Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake ( Without Gelatin)

eggless chocolate cake recipe (Link for the cake here.)

Heavy whipping cream (to warm up)

chocolate

¼ cup Heavy whipping cream (to whip,300 ml)

vanilla

heavy cream (to whip, 300 ml)

White chocolate chips (1 cup, 6 oz)

heavy cream

¾ teaspoon agar agar

heavy cream (180 ml, to warm up)

semi-sweet chocolate

Heavy Cream

Chocolate

It is important to use a SPRINGFORM pan throughout this recipe. Another option is to bake a cake and use adjustable cake rings to build up the mousse.

I have used a 9” round springform pan here.

Prepare the cake as per the recipe and instructions here.

Let it cool down completely before adding the mousse.

I like to prepare it a day ahead of time and store it wrapped in plastic wrap and foil. Leave it in the fridge or at room temperature until layered with mousse.

Slice the top of the cake horizontally to level it flat and then add the mousse layer.

You can choose to keep a thin layer of cake by slicing it accordingly.

Enjoy the scrapes with tea or coffee or maybe make some cake pops.

Try using an acetate or parchment paper collar on the circumference of the inner side of the pan for smooth removal of cake later.

Preparing the cake pan for layering

Warm-up cream in a microwave-safe bowl or in a pot over a stovetop just until a simmer and not boiling hot.

Add in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and cover the bowl with a lid/ dish. Keep it undisturbed for 30 seconds. The trapped heat of the cream will slowly start to melt the chocolate.

Now open the lid and start stirring gently. It will look goopy at first but after a minute of stirring it will start to form a smooth chocolate sauce known as ganache.

If you suspect that all the chocolate didn’t melt then just pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time. Smoothen out the tiny bits of chocolate and keep the ganache aside to cool at room temperature.

Process of melting chocolate

Meanwhile in a big bowl add cream, a pinch of salt, and vanilla. Whip it with an electric or handheld whisk for 4-5 minutes. Or until you see that the cream has started to just thicken. Now switch off the electric whisk and just manually whisk it to a super soft consistency. Whisking with a hand, later on, gives you more control over the consistency and avoids over-whipping the cream.

We are looking for a very soft peak consistency. Refer to the video for better understanding. Please do not whisk until stiff peaks. The cream should be just thick and not hold the peaks at all.

Whipping chilled heavy whipping cream

The chocolate should have come to room temperature by now. It should not be warm.

Now scoop 3-4 tablespoons already whipped cream into chocolate first. Fold it gently so that the cream is completely incorporated with chocolate. This is done to stabilize chocolate. It is a crucial step taken to avoid chocolate seizing when it comes in contact with chilled cream.

The next step is adding the chocolate mixture to the big bowl of already whipped cream. Fold it gently in one clockwise direction. We want the mouse light and fluffy. This way we are incorporating air in the mousse.

Once it is mixed well, add it to the prepared cake pan. Level the top with a spatula as much as you can. It does not have to be perfect. Loosely cover it with foil and chill in the refrigerator (not the freezer).

Mixing process to make the mousse

Important - Follow the sequence – 1st whip the cream and set it aside. 2nd – activate the agar-agar. 3 rd – Melt the white chocolate. You can do the 2nd and 3rd steps simultaneously using two stove-top.

Prepare White Chocolate Mousse

Same as you would do for semi-sweet chocolate mousse. Just repeat the process.

In a big bowl add cream, a pinch of salt, and vanilla. Whip it with an electric or handheld whisk for 4-5 minutes. Or until you see that the cream has started to thicken. Now switch off the electric whisk and just manually whisk it to a super soft consistency. Whisking with a hand, later on, gives you more control over the consistency and avoids over-whipping the cream.

Whip heavy whipping cream

Add agar-agar to a bowl of cream. Mix well to combine. Heat this mixture on medium heat stirring frequently. Once the mixture comes to a boil let it cook for a minute. Switch off the flame and let it cool to warm.

Activate agar agar

I recommend using the double boiler method to melt white chocolate and not the microwave. White chocolate is very delicate and tends to burn in the microwave.

Melt the cream and white chocolate using the double boiler method over the stovetop.

Once it is silky smooth take the bowl off the stove and let the chocolate cool completely. The white chocolate will thicken as it cools but it should still be flowy consistency.

Make the white chocolate ganache

Now place the chilled whipped cream, agar-agar mixture, and white chocolate on your work table.

Then scoop 3-4 tablespoons already whipped cream into the white chocolate first. Fold it gently so that the cream is completely incorporated with chocolate. This is done to stabilize chocolate. It is a crucial step taken to avoid chocolate seizing when it comes in contact with chilled cream.

If you think chocolate is turning gritty then just add some more cream, it will turn smooth again.

The next step is adding the white chocolate mixture to the big bowl of already whipped cream. Fold it gently in one clockwise direction until mixed, say for 20 seconds.

Now add in the agar agar mixture. Make sure it is warm and flowy. It should not set before mixing. If you suspect that the mix is thickened, set, or cooled before adding it to the cream then warm it again on low heat until flowy consistency.

The next step is to work quickly. Immediately add the agar cream mixture into the white chocolate whipped cream mixture and whip for 10-15 seconds, making sure it is blended well. Do not overwhip.

Pour it over the semi-sweet mousse layer. Level as much as you can. Place it in the fridge to set for at least an hour before you layer it with ganache.

Make the mousse - Work quickly

Place semi-sweet chocolate in a medium-sized bowl. Warm-up cream in a microwave-safe bowl or in a pot over a stovetop just until a simmer and not boiling hot.

Pour it over the chocolate chips and cover the bowl with a lid/ dish. Keep it undisturbed for 30 seconds. The trapped heat of the cream will slowly start to melt the chocolate.

Making top ganache layer (Optional)

Once the ganache has cooled down pour it over the white chocolate layer and swirl it to cover the top of the cake. Place it in the fridge to set overnight or at least 8 hours before garnishing.

You may add some chocolate shards, shavings, curls, and berries to decorate the cake.

Eggless Triple chocolate mousse cake without gelatin

This decadent and rich vegan chocolate mousse cake is an absolute dream! With fudgy brownie cake layered with an unbelievably smooth and fluffy eggless and dairy free chocolate mousse, this chocolate mousse cake is a crowd pleaser, whether you're vegan or not!

Easy Vegan Chocolate Mousse Cake (Gluten Free + Nut Free!)

(100 grams) oat flour, sifted

cup (25 grams) cocoa powder

cup (90 grams) coconut sugar

tsp arrowroot powder

cup (100 mL) unsweetened dairy free milk + 1 tsp acv, room temperature, mixed before the batter

cup (150 grams) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature

tsp baking soda + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (DON’T mix until you’re about to add to the batter)

cup (7 ounces) vegan dark chocolate

cup (210 mL) aquafaba*

tsp cream of tartar

cup (90 grams) coconut sugar

Please read through the instructions first before beginning, and measure out ingredients for the brownie cake layer. 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare an 8&#8243; springform pan with 4&#8243; walls by lining the bottom with parchment paper and greasing the edges of the springform pan with olive or cooking oil. Set aside. Prepare the vegan buttermilk by mixing together the dairy free milk and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken. 

Make the brownie cake batter: 

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and arrowroot powder. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dairy free milk and acv mixture with the applesauce. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together until the dry ingredients have just combined with the wet. Then in a separate ramekin, mix the baking soda with the apple cider vinegar until it foams. Add immediately into the batter and mix together.

Bake the brownie cake layer: 

Pour the batter into the springform pan and bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the springform pan for 30 minutes. Then transfer the cake in the springform pan still to the freezer to chill for 30 minutes. 

Prepare the chocolate mousse

only after the brownie cake layer has chilled for 30 minutes in the freezer, prepare the chocolate mousse. 

Melt the chocolate

 In a microwave safe bowl or by tempering the chocolate over the stove, heat and stir the chocolate until melted. If using a microwave, use 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is about half way melted. Then stir the chocolate until melted, without heating it again. Set the chocolate aside to cool while you make the mousse.

Prepare the vegan chocolate mousse

 First start by adding the aquafaba, cream of tartar, and 2 tbsp from the coconut sugar into a stand mixer bowl with whisk attachment. Turn the stand mixer on to medium speed, mixing the aquafaba until it begins to foam. Once the mixture starts to foam, turn the speed up to high speed, and whip the aquafaba for 6-7 minutes, until soft peaks are achieved. Then add in the remaining coconut sugar. Turn the speed up to high speed again, and allow the mixture to mix for another 8-10 minutes, until medium peaks are achieved.

Fold the chocolate into the mousse: 

once the peaks are achieved, pour the cooled chocolate into the mousse mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently gold the chocolate into the mousse, using a &#8220;J&#8221; swoosh movement. Fold until the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the mousse, being careful not to over mix the mousse and deflate it.

Assemble the chocolate mousse cake

Pour the mousse on to the brownie cake layer, and use a rubber spatula to smooth the top. Place the mousse cake into the freezer to chill for 3 hours.

Serve!

Once the mousse cake is entirely set, use a butter knife to carefully run the edges of the mousse cake walls and sides of the springform pan to easily release the cake. Carefully release the springform cake walls and plate the mousse cake. Decorate with berries and server immediately. When not slicing, keep the mousse cake in the fridge or freezer. This is because at room temperate, aquafaba begins to soften quite quickly, so this cake shouldn&#8217;t be left out for more than 30 minutes. 

Storage

store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.

A delicious no bake Chocolate Mousse Cake.

(approximately 20) Oreo cookies

Pour Oreo mixture into your prepared tin and press down gently to form an even layer. Pop in the fridge.

Place chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Leave for a few minutes to cool slightly.
