Instructions

Begin by chopping the semi-sweet chocolate into small pieces. This ensures it melts evenly and smoothly. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Set up a double boiler by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the chocolate gently until it's completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using a whisk, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This process will take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want the cream to be fluffy and light.
Once the chocolate has cooled to room temperature, gently fold in one-third of the whipped cream with a rubber spatula. This helps lighten the chocolate before combining with the rest. Next, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
Transfer the mousse mixture into the prepared springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results. This chilling time allows the mousse to set perfectly.
Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. You can garnish your Chocolate Mousse Torte with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of elegance. Slice and serve chilled.
