Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 200g white chocolate, chopped
  • 200g strawberry puree
  • 600ml heavy cream, divided
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 10g gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150g digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 75g unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base by mixing crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
  2. Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  3. Heat half of the heavy cream until warm and dissolve gelatin into it, stirring well; divide this mixture into three portions.
  4. Beat egg yolks with half the sugar until pale and thick.
  5. Whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form; set aside.
  6. Prepare chocolate mousse: Melt dark chocolate gently, fold a portion of whipped cream into the cooled melted chocolate, then combine with gelatin cream and egg yolk mixture; fold in remaining whipped cream and whipped egg whites beaten with remaining sugar. Pour over biscuit base and chill until set.
  7. Repeat a similar process for vanilla mousse using white chocolate and vanilla extract; pour gently over the chocolate layer and chill.
  8. For strawberry mousse, heat strawberry puree slightly, mix with gelatin cream and fold in whipped cream and whipped egg whites; pour over vanilla layer and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Remove the cake from the springform pan and serve chilled.

Notes
