What Does It Taste Like?
Chocolate, four ways
Rich, Layered, Crunchy
The first thing that stands out is the sheer amount of chocolate. The cake gives you a soft, familiar chocolate-cake texture, while the mousse changes the bite into something creamier and more dessert-like.
The crushed wafer layer is useful because it interrupts all that softness with a slight crisp texture. Instead of one dramatic flavor, the cake, mousse, wafers and sauce build on each other for a deep chocolate finish.
