Why I Love This Recipe

It looks really good


Ingredients You'll Need

200g block dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 tsp Coles Instant Coffee Powder
300ml thickened cream
600g chocolate mud cake
300ml thickened cream, whipped, , to serve
Grated dark chocolate, to serve


Directions

Place chocolate, coffee powder and 1/2 the cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH, stirring halfway through cooking, for 1 minute or until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool completely. Set remaining cream aside to come to room temperature.


Using an electric mixer, beat cooled chocolate mixture with remaining cream until just-firm peaks form.


Remove and discard paper lining from cake. Place cake, icing-side up, on a plate. Spray a 60cm-long piece of baking paper with oil. Fold in half lengthways, pressing together to stick. Wrap firmly around the cake, pressing paper into icing on edge of cake (paper should extend 5cm above cake and fit tightly around cake). Spray overlapping end of baking paper with oil to secure. Spoon mousse over cake. Carefully smooth top, ensuring the baking paper doesn’t move. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.


Remove paper from cake. Transfer to a serving plate. Place whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm-fluted nozzle. Pipe cream onto mousse. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Serve.
