Instructions:

1. Prepare the Biscuit Base:

• Combine biscuit crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
• Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even layer.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

2. Make the Dark Chocolate Mousse:

• In a small saucepan, mix milk, sugar, and agar-agar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave.
• Once melted, mix the chocolate with the agar-agar mixture.
• Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the chocolate mixture.
• Pour over the biscuit base and return to the fridge to set for about 1 hour.

3. Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

• Repeat the process used for the dark chocolate mousse, using milk chocolate.
• Carefully pour over the set dark chocolate layer.
• Chill again until set, about 1 hour.

4. Make the White Chocolate Mousse:

• Repeat the process used for the previous layers, this time using white chocolate.
• Pour over the set milk chocolate layer and smooth the top.
• Chill the completed cake for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. Serve:

• Once set, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan.
• Garnish with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries before serving.

Tips:

• Quality of Chocolate: Use good quality chocolate for each layer as it is the main flavor component.
• Agar-Agar: Ensure the agar-agar is completely dissolved and mixed with the chocolate well to avoid any lumps.
• Layering: Allow each layer to set completely before adding the next to prevent them from mixing.
