Ingredients:
Crust
2 cups almond flour or oat flour
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
Chocolate Mousse Layers
3/4 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), melted
3/4 cup unsweetened milk chocolate alternative (e.g., cacao-based)
3/4 cup white chocolate alternative (dairy-free, if preferred)
3 cups coconut cream (chilled overnight)
3 tbsp coconut sugar (for each mousse layer)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Ganache
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/2 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the almond flour, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
Make the Chocolate Mousse Layers:
Dark Chocolate Mousse: Whip 1 cup of coconut cream with 1 tbsp coconut sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted dark chocolate. Spread this mousse evenly over the crust.
Milk Chocolate Mousse: Repeat the previous step with the melted milk chocolate and another 1 cup of whipped coconut cream. Spread on top of the dark chocolate layer.
White Chocolate Mousse: For the final layer, fold melted white chocolate alternative into the remaining whipped coconut cream. Spread evenly as the top layer. Cover the cake and refrigerate for 4-6 hours until fully set.
Prepare the Ganache:
Heat coconut cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Decorate and Serve:
Pour the ganache over the chilled cake, letting it drip along the sides. Garnish with fresh berries, cacao nibs, and mint leaves for an elegant touch. Slice and serve chilled!
