This is an intense Cocolate dessert. I used the Chilli Chocolate cake minus the chilli for the base and an eggless choc mousse (to accomodate a pregnant sister in law) and topped it off with a coffee flavoured cream and roasted hazelnuts. The flavour and texture combo is delish with the mousse being the star of the show.
