Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz. chocolate wafers
- 3 oz. butter, melted
- 16 oz. white chocolate
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 eggs, separated
- Pinch of salt
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons White Crème De Cocoa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter the sides only of a 10-inch springform pan.
- In a food processor, crumble the chocolate wafers by pulsing the machine until you have very fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a double boiler, melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and thick. Gradually add the melted white chocolate, mixing until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the White Crème De Cocoa and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mousse over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until set. Serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure the chocolate wafers are finely crumbled for a smooth crust. Let the white chocolate cool slightly before mixing with egg yolks to prevent curdling. The cake needs to chill for at least 4 hours to set properly. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
