No-bake decadent chocolate mousse cake.
Ingredients:
  • 450g good-quality dark chocolate
  • 4 eggs
  • 250g caster sugar
  • 500ml (2 cups) thick cream, lightly whipped
  • 100ml (5 tbsp) rum
  • 500ml (2 cups) prepared strong black coffee
  • 450g savoiardi sponge finger biscuits
  • Cocoa, to dust
Instructions:
  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (ensure bowl doesn't touch the water). Let cool. Whisk eggs with half the sugar until pale. Gently fold in the melted chocolate, then fold in the cream. Refrigerate.
  • Stir in the rest of the sugar and rum into the hot coffee until the sugar dissolves. Dip half of the biscuits into the coffee mixture, layer them on the base of a 24cm springform pan. Spread the chocolate mixture over the biscuits.
  • Immerse the remaining biscuits in coffee and layer them on top. Cover and freeze overnight.
  • Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving, and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
