Despite the various procedures one may use to prepare the Chinese coffee mousse cake, below are simplified steps on how to make your cake.
View RecipeI was inspired to make this cake from tasting Dominique Ansel's Peanut Butter Mousse Crunch Cake. I changed the recipe a bit and made a hazelnut mousse with a toasted hazelnut garnish instead of peanut. The result is like a dreamy large Nutella cup! Even though this cake is rich and decadent, the mousse is airy and light. The crispy chocolate puffed rice base pairs fantastically with the creamy mousse and rich chocolate ganache. Make sure to save some of the chocolate-covered puffed rice and toasted hazelnuts to top your cake!
