Elegant Chocolate Dome Mousse with Ganache

Serve immediately after adding ganache for the best texture and shine.

Store in the freezer for up to 1 week; thaw for 15–20 minutes before serving.

Variations

Nutty Twist: Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts or almonds between the mousse layers.

Fruit Infusion: Add a thin layer of raspberry or passion fruit coulis inside the dome for a fruity surprise.

White Chocolate Domes: Swap dark chocolate for white chocolate layers for a lighter, sweeter version.

FAQ

1. Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and freeze the domes in advance. Add ganache just before serving.

2. Can I use store-bought mousse?
Yes, you can use pre-made mousse for convenience, but homemade provides the best texture and flavor.

3. Can I use regular bowls instead of silicone molds?
Yes, but silicone molds make unmolding much easier and preserve the dome shape perfectly.
