Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the mousse and ganache. This will ensure a rich and flavorful torte.
- Make sure the cream is cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
- Don't over-whip the cream. Over-whipped cream will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Chill the torte for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the mousse and ganache to set properly.
- When you're ready to serve the torte, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will soften the mousse and ganache slightly, making them easier to cut and eat.
