120g white chocolate

3 cups heavy whipping cream (divided evenly per layer)

6 tablespoons butter (2 tbsp per chocolate layer)

Instructions

1. Prepare the base by combining crushed chocolate cookies or brownie chunks with melted butter. Press into the bottom of each serving glass and chill while you make the mousse.

2. Melt the dark chocolate and let it cool slightly. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks, then fold in the cooled chocolate. Spoon or pipe over the base layer and refrigerate.

3. Repeat the process for milk chocolate: melt, cool, whip another cup of cream, fold together, and layer it over the dark chocolate mousse. Chill again until firm.

4. Repeat with white chocolate and the final cup of whipped cream. Carefully layer it over the milk chocolate mousse and smooth the top.

5. Chill the assembled mousse cups for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.

6. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate curls, or fresh berries as desired.

Notes

For perfectly neat layers, use a piping bag for each mousse and refrigerate between layers.

Always cool your melted chocolate before folding it into whipped cream to avoid deflation.

The mousse cups can be made a full day ahead—just add toppings before serving for the best presentation.
