Dark chocolate mousse cake with cloud frosting

Everyone loves a mystery box, as do I. Mine arrived with a Fragile, handle with care sticker. Hidden beneath reams of shredded rainbow paper, a pixie-sized wooden hammer and chocolate egg, the size of which would’ve awed Willy Wonker. With instructions to ‘Crack me and Create me’, I reluctantly smashed the egg and proceeded to read the user guide, while sampling chocolate shrapnel. The plot – Conjure up a decadent dessert or bake using First Choice Velvet dessert as the key ingredient. I can think of nothing more luxuriously shameless than this Dark Chocolate mousse cake!
