Layers of Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse Flan Fun!

Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse Slice!
That time of the week again! What time? Chocolate time! If you like tarts and flans but don’t like the baking (or don’t own an oven), then Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse Flan is for you! No baking but lots of refrigerating! And if you made a face just then, because you don’t like coffee or cappuccino’s (SHAME on you!) well then, if you just minus the coffee powder from the recipe, you will have a delicious Chocolate Mousse Flan, full of white and dark chocolate goodness! It is deliciously rich and yet light because of the mousse.


However don’t get carried away, I think this cartoon from The Deep End perfectly sums up the possible result.
Too much Mousse

Cappuccino Chocolate Mousse Flan

Ingredients:
Base: 250g plain chocolate biscuits crushed, 125g butter melted

White Chocolate Cream: 100g white chocolate chopped, ¼ cup cream

Mocha Mousse: 200g dark chocolate melted, 60g butter melted, ¼ cup cream, 2 egg yolks, 3 heaped tsp instant coffee powder, 3 tsp water, ¾ cup cream extra


Topping: 1 1/3 cup cream, 2 tbsp caster sugar, 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Steps: To make the base: Place the chocolate biscuits in a food processor to produce fine crumbs. Combine the biscuit crumbs and butter in a bowl and mix well. Press the mixture firmly onto the base and sides of a 23cm round flan dish. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

To make White Chocolate cream: Place the white chocolate and cream in a small heatproof bowl and stir over simmering water until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Spread over the chocolate base evenly. Then refrigerate until set.

To make the Mocha mousse: Combine the melted dark chocolate, melted butter, ¼ cup cream, egg yolks and coffee and water blended together, into a large bowl and mix well. Using electric beaters whip the extra ¾ cup cream separately in a small bowl, then fold the cream into the chocolate mixture. Spread the mousse onto the white chocolate cream layer and then refrigerate again until set.

To make the topping: Just before serving, whip the cream and sugar together until soft peaks form then spread over the mousse. Dust lightly with the sifted cocoa. Then serve!
