Tips for preparing Decadent Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

• Feel free to add a layer of chocolate sponge cake for added texture! 🍰

Variations (if applicable)

• Try using different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage for a more intense flavor.
• Add flavors like orange zest, espresso, or peppermint extract to the mousse for unique twists.
