Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate layers 45 minutes for easier handling.
- Meanwhile, to make mousse, in 2-quart saucepan, mix 1/4 cup of the whipping cream, the granulated sugar and 1/3 cup liqueur. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture simmers; remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips with whisk until chips are melted. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Pour into large bowl; cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- In chilled medium bowl, beat remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream on high speed just until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- In another chilled medium bowl, beat topping ingredients on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Trim off rounded top of one cake layer. Cut each cake layer horizontally to make 2 layers. (To cut, mark side of cake with toothpicks and cut with long, thin knife.)

- Put the egg whites and salt in the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the whites form soft (not dry!) peaks. Fold them carefully into the chocolate mixture. In the same bowl (no need to clean it) beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks and fold it carefully into the chocolate mixture. Grate the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and fold it into the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a 10-cup souffle dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight.

MOCHA MOUSSE CAKE
This cake is over the top rich and decadent. I love the combination of coffee and chocolate. The cake is so moist, the mocha filling rich, and the frosting light and fluffy. Chocolate shavings on top make the presentation extra special. It does look like the cake takes forever and a day to make, but most of it is refrigeration and cooling time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and produce stiff peaks.
- Don't overbeat the whipped cream. Overbeaten whipped cream will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
- Grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings can be sprinkled on top of the mousse for a finishing touch.
- Mocha mousse can be served immediately or chilled for later. If chilling, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Conclusion:
Mocha mousse is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor and fluffy texture, mocha mousse is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
