Chocolate Mousse Cake

Ingredients

12 ounces chocolate wafers, crushed

1/2 cup butter, melted

16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 eggs

4 eggs, separated

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 cups whipping cream, divided

10 Tablespoons powdered sugar, divided

Chocolate curls for garnish

Combine wafers and butter. Press on bottom and sides of greased springform pan; chill. Melt chocolate chips in double boiler (or microwave); add whole eggs and mix well. Add vanilla. In a bowl, beat 2 cups cream until soft peaks form. Add 6 Tablespoons powdered sugar and beat until stiff. In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold whipped cream and egg whites into chocolate mixture until well blended. Pour into crust; chill overnight. (May be frozen at this point. The texture of this mousse is actually better when it is slightly frozen.)

Whip remaining 2 cups cream and 4 Tablespoons sugar until stiff. Loosen sides of crust from pan with knife. Top with sweetened whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls or chocolate leaves.

Serves: 12
