The top layer of chocolate is a nice addition to the mousse. While eating this dessert you have to slip your spoon all the way down through the three layers and come up with a little of each flavor to each mouthful!

The mouse is actually very easy to make but it does take some time because you have three layers of chocolate that need to be refrigerated for a while before the next layer can be added on top.
