• 1 tbsp unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

2. Whipped Dream: Beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time and thoroughly mixing each one. Stir in cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Mousse Magic: Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in melted chocolate and bloomed gelatin.
4. Assemble the Masterpiece: Pour cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly. Let cool completely.
5. Top with Moussey Bliss: Gently spread the chocolate mousse over the chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for optimal texture.
