Recipe:1 chocolate cake (either from-the-box cake mix or the chocolate birthday cake)
14oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 1oz squares (2oz) of unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/2 cup cold water
1 package Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup heavy cream, stiffly whipped**
In a large bowl, beat sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate until well blended.
Gradually beat in water and pudding mix until smooth.
Chill in refrigerator for 30mins.
While mousse is chilling, prepare and bake cake mixes as directed. Use two round dishes, each 9inches in diameter.
Remove mousse from fridge. Beat until smooth, and fold in whipped cream.
Chill at least 1 hour.
Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate; top with half of the mousse mixture. Place second layer of cake on top.
Frost top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining mousse mixture.
*This recipe comes from Eagle Brand.
**I altered the amount of heavy cream. The Eagle Brand recipe says to use 1 cup, but I've found that, for a sturdier mousse, 1/2 cup is the right amount. However, if you want a runny mousse, 1 cup is perfect.
