How to Make Triple Chocolate Mousse Domes

Ingredients:

4 oz dark chocolate
4 oz milk chocolate
4 oz white chocolate
1 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup soft sponge cake or crisp base

Directions:

Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Let it cool slightly.
Whip half of the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it into the melted dark chocolate.
In separate bowls, repeat the melting and folding process for the milk and white chocolate.
In a mixer, whip the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla extract.
Fold the whipped egg mixture into the dark chocolate mousse, then add the milk chocolate, followed by the white chocolate.
