Combining velvety dark chocolate with tart, juicy raspberries, this cake offers a delightful balance of flavors and a smooth, creamy texture that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 package of graham crackers or cookies for the crust
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by crushing the graham crackers or cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to create a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
  2. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until just boiling, then pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture, incorporating the raspberries into part of the mousse for added flavor. Pour this luscious mousse over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  3. Place the assembled mousse cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the mousse to set perfectly and enhances the flavors. Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance flavor.
  • Ensure the raspberries are thoroughly drained if using frozen to prevent excess moisture.
  • Chilling time is essential for the mousse to set properly and develop flavor.
  • Decorate with additional raspberries and chocolate shavings for a more attractive presentation.
