It’s not just a dessert; it’s a love letter to chocolate in all its glorious forms. So, let’s put on our aprons and get started!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Perfect for impressing guests at dinner parties.
  • Incredibly luscious and rich without being overwhelming.
  • Great for any occasion—birthdays, holidays, or just a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • For the Crust:
  • 200g digestive biscuits (or any plain biscuits you have on hand)
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Mousse:
  • 300g Cadbury Flake chocolate (or your favorite chocolate), broken into pieces
  • 300ml double cream
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For Garnishing:
  • Extra Cadbury Flakes for decoration
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)

Note: Using fresh eggs is key for that perfect airy texture in your mousse!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s dive into the deliciousness!

  1. Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take those digestive biscuits and crush them into fine crumbs; you can use a food processor or a rolling pin—whatever floats your boat! Combine the crumbs with the melted butter until well mixed.
  2. Form the Base: Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of a tart tin (around 9 inches works beautifully). Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to make sure it’s even and smooth. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  3. Make the Mousse: While you’re waiting for the crust to cool, let’s get that dreamy mousse going! In a saucepan, gently melt the broken chocolate over a low heat, stirring continuously. Once melted and silky, set it aside to cool slightly.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the double cream until it forms soft peaks. Don’t overdo it—you want your mousse light and fluffy!
  5. Separate Your Eggs: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar and vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
  6. Combine Everything: Carefully fold the melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, followed by the whipped cream. Lastly, gently fold in the beaten egg whites until just combined. Take care not to overmix; we want that airiness!
  7. Fill the Tart Shell: Pour the mousse into the cooled biscuit crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Pop it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can wait that long!).
  8. Serve and Garnish: Just before serving, top with crushed Cadbury Flakes and, if you fancy, sprinkle some chocolate shavings for that extra pizzazz. Slice it up and enjoy!

Pro Tips & Variations

Ready to experiment a bit? Here are some fun ideas to elevate your tart:

  • Flavor Infusions: Add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the melted chocolate for a mocha twist or infuse the whipped cream with a hint of orange zest for a fruity zing!
  • Dietary Swaps: For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits. Vegan? Substitute with vegan chocolate and solid coconut cream in place of the double cream.
  • Serving Ideas: Why not pair this tart with some fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream? The contrast of flavors will have you swooning.

Serving Suggestions

Picture this: You’re hosting a cozy gathering, the candles are flickering, and you bring out your stunning Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart. Slice into it, and the rich, velvety mousse cascades out, inviting everyone to dig in. Serve it alongside a steaming cup of coffee or a big glass of cold milk—heavenly! You might even want a dollop of whipped cream on top, sprinkled with leftover Flake crumbs to create that picture-perfect finish. Trust me; your guests will swoon!

Storage Tips

Got leftovers? First of all, lucky you! Here’s how to keep that deliciousness fresh:

  • Refrigerating: Cover the tart with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It will keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. (If it lasts that long!)
  • Freezing: Although I highly recommend you enjoy this tart fresh, if you must freeze it, I suggest slicing it first. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic and then foil to prevent freezer burn. It can last up to a month!
  • Reheating: The best way to enjoy it is cold, but if you prefer it a bit softer, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving again.

FAQs

Can I make this tart a day in advance?

Absolutely! In fact, making it a day ahead allows the mousse to set beautifully and the flavors to meld together. It’s the ultimate make-ahead dessert!

What can I use instead of Cadbury Flake chocolate?

You can use any high-quality chocolate bar that you love, like Galaxy or even a dark chocolate for a richer taste. It’s all about what makes your taste buds dance!

Can I use whipped topping instead of whipping my own cream?

Sure! Whipped toppings can be a time-saver, but homemade cream adds a special touch. If you’re in a pinch, the pre-made kind will still be tasty.

Why is my mousse not setting properly?

Ah, the dreaded mousse dilemma! Make sure your chocolate isn’t too hot when mixing it with the egg yolks, as it could create a grainy texture. Also, ensure your egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks for that airy, delicate texture.

Conclusion

So there you have it, my dear friends! This Cadbury Flake Mousse Tart is more than just a dessert; it’s a celebration of joy, love, and all things chocolate. I hope you give it a try and let it transport you to sweet childhood memories—happy baking!
