The ”Trois Chocolats”, also known as Triple Chocolate Cake, is a classic dessert that has gained popularity over the years.
Typically, the cake consists of three layers of mousse, each made with a different type of chocolate: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate.
Mousse itself is a classic French dessert with a history dating back several centuries. The Swiss Chef pâtissier Charles Fazi is credited for creating the simplest form of mousse, consisting of whipped egg whites and chocolate, as a treat for Louis XVI. The term "Chocolate mousse" was later coined by Chef pâtissier Menon in 1755, also used to describe the foam atop a chocolate drink. Over time, the recipe evolved to include egg yolks, cream, and sugar. Chocolate mousse itself gained popularity in the early 20th century when chocolate became more accessible and widely used in desserts.
