Let the cake cool completely before assembling.
Make the Mousse Layers:
Melt the dark, milk, and white chocolates separately. Let each cool slightly.
Whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Divide the whipped cream into three equal portions.
Gently fold one portion into each type of melted chocolate to create three mousse flavors.
Assemble the Cake:
Place the cooled cake on a serving plate or inside a springform pan.
Spread the dark chocolate mousse evenly over the cake. Repeat with the milk chocolate mousse, and finish with the white chocolate mousse.
Smooth the top layer and refrigerate for 2–4 hours until set.
Add the Optional Glaze:
Melt chocolate chips and butter together until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the chilled cake, spreading evenly. Chill until the glaze is firm.
Serve and Enjoy:
Garnish with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for a stunning finish.
Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the rich, velvety layers of chocolate heaven!
