The only thing better than chocolate has got to be 3 types of chocolate. At the same time. As in this recipe for Triple Chocolate in a Jar to be precise.
Triple Chocolate in a Jar is three types of chocolate prepared three ways. It is all kinds of delicious chocolate and I am serving it in in a jar. Because it is so good that you can take it to work with you! And the best part is that is a dream to make.
Bash some chocolate biscuits for one of the layers. Make a quick and easy cheesecake mix with cream cheese, dark chocolate and cream as another layer. The next step is to make a white chocolate mousse by whipping some cream and melted white chocolate together and use that the crowning chocolate layer. There is absolutely no fuss in getting this dessert ready.
The addition of the cacao nibs adds some texture and a slight bitterness to the crumbs that I think you need with all the richness of the other two layers. The nibs are not always readily available it seems and it is not a train smash if you do not add it to the biscuit crumbs. Some chopped nuts will work well too. I added a few raspberries as garnish and the tartness of the berries work so well with chocolate. For added pretty I sprinkled some chocolate flakes on top. To make the dessert a tad more festive I would add a layer of raspberries as well. Not only will it look great it will taste delicious too. Enjoy!
