Ingredients

• 1 14.4 oz box of Chocolate Graham Crackers
• Chocolate Mousse
• 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 8 oz cool whip (or homemade whipped cream*)
• Chocolate Ganache
• 11 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• Chocolate Whipped Cream and Toppings
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• Chocolate sauce (I used this one)
• Mini chocolate chips

Directions

• To Make the Chocolate Mousse
• 1. Combine cream cheese, sugar and milk together in the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a hand mixer. Mix until completely combined.
• 2. Add cocoa and mix until smooth.
• 3. Fold in the cool whip.
• To make the chocolate ganache
• 1. Place chocolate chips in a metal bowl.
• 2. Microwave the heavy cream until it starts to boil. Remove from microwave and pour over chocolate chips.
• 3. Cover bowl with saran wrap for 5-7 minutes.
• 4. Whisk chocolate and cream until smooth.
• To make the chocolate whipped cream
• 1. Freeze metal bowl and whisk for 15-20 minutes to get them good and cold.
• 2. Remove bowl from freezer and add whipping cream.
• 3. Whip on medium speed for a few minutes. Cream will initially bubble a little bit, then start to thicken.
• 4. As the cream starts to thicken, add the cocoa and powdered sugar.
• 5. Whip until stiff peaks form.
• Putting it all together
• 1. Place a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
• 2. Top graham crackers with half of the mousse mixture and spread evenly.
• 3. Spread half of the chocolate ganache on top of the mousse mixture and spread evenly.
• 4. Place another layer of graham crackers on top of the chocolate ganache
• 5. Spread remaining mousse mixture on top of graham crackers.
• 6. Pour remaining ganache on top of mousse mixture and spread evenly.
• 7. Top ganache with one more layer of graham crackers.
• 8. Top cake with chocolate whipped cream and spread into an even layer.
• 9. Finish cake off with chocolate sauce and mini chocolate chips, if desired.
• *If making homemade whipped cream, I recommend 1 1/4 cups whipping cream and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
