Why These Ingredients Are Essential:

• Chocolate: The key to this cake is the high-quality chocolate used for each mousse layer. The dark chocolate provides a rich, deep flavor, while the milk chocolate adds a bit of sweetness. White chocolate brings a creamy, sweet finish to balance the richness of the others.
• Heavy cream: Gives the mousse its velvety, smooth texture.
• Butter: In the crust, butter helps bind the crumbs together and creates a rich, indulgent base.
