Three types of chocolate in one lovely mousse, this is almost as elegant as a performance by three ballerinas! it is beautiful to look at, very creamy, and a delight for the most discerning of tongues. Being a ‘trio’, this should ideally be made with three types of chocolate, but in case you do not like any of the varieties, you can make three layers with just the two varieties that you like, by sandwiching one variety between two layers of another.

Pipe out ¼ of the milk chocolate mousse in a tall glass.
