Chocolate Mousse Cake
Updated: Aug 1, 2021
Summer months can make you feel extremely demotivated. And as someone who is a lover of food and baking this really messes me up. I love baking, but the heat is insane. So during the summer months, I will try my best to make as many quick and easy, no bake recipes as possible. Letting my fridge or freezer do as much of the work as possible. Also we all love chilled desserts in the summer- so win-win if you ask me.
This no bake chocolate mousse cake was one of the first desserts I ever made. And was a permanent addition to my recipe book. Lately I had been flipping through some of my first recipes and I could barely read the scratchy hand writing. This recipe popped out at me. I had probably been really excited that this recipe worked and quickly scribbled it out onto a loose sheet. I had later stuck this to the book. Now going through the recipe book, I decided to share this recipe with you all.

Why I love this recipe:
It uses only 5 ingredients. Oreos, butter, chocolate, cream, and maybe some berries to top it.
It's a great make ahead recipe. I make this the day before a dinner and it's ready to serve the next day.
Great recipe for chocolate lovers
It's a lovely no bake recipe. Perfect for the summer.
