Lindt Chocolate Cassis Mousse Cake

Prep time: 30 MinCook time: 5 MinInactive time: 4 HourTotal time: 4 H & 35 M

Rich, dark and decadent. The perfect finale to any festive feast. This uses Lindt 70% cacao chocolate for the most divine, smooth mouthfeel. The addition of cassis adds a sweet tang to round the bitter notes of the chocolate perfectly. One to savour with a coffee or liqueur.

Ingredients

For the Base

• 175g Bitter Chocolate biscuits
• 90g Unsalted Butter, melted.
• 1/8 tsp Fine Salt

For the filling

• 400g Lindt 70% Chocolate
• 600ml Whipping Cream
• 60ml Cassis Liqueur
• Lindt Cocoa Powder & Chocolate Teddies to decorate.
• Extra whipped cream to serve if liked.

Instructions

1. Line a 7” Springform pan with non-stick paper and set aside. Break the biscuits to a crumb in a food processor and mix with the melted butter and salt and press into the base of the tin, set aside in the fridge to set while you make the filling.
2. Set a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and add the chocolate. Gently melt, stirring occasionally until liquid, remove from the heat
3. Beat the cream and cassis until soft peaks form. Add one spoonful to the chocolate and mix through to loosen. Gently fold the remaining cream through the chocolate until light and homogenous, try not to overmix or else you will deflate your mixture.
4. Spoon onto your prepared base and pop in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to set.
5. Remove from the pan, dust with cocoa and top with Lindt chocolate teddies before serving in slices with extra whipped cream if liked.
