Three layer eggless chocolate mousse

I never knew it will be so easy to prepare a chocolate mousse. Recently I bought tiny tiny (2.5 oz) glasses. I thought of preparing the mousse in these tiny glasses and serve for my tea party. It was looking very cute. Sad that I couldn’t click the snaps of the tiny glasses. I made double the quantity of the recipe mentioned below. I could fill 12 nos of tiny glasses and 5 normal glasses (like picture shown below)

As the name mentions it is 3 layer mousse where the bottom layer i used bitter chocolate followed by white and milk chocolate. Each layer has to be prepared and set. Later the next layer is prepared and added over the previous one. You can prepare in order you like.

6. While the chocolate is melting we can whip the cream to soft peaks and keep aside.
7. Stir gelatin powder into milk and let sit for a minute. Heat milk to just below a simmer and then whisk into melted chocolate.
8. Once the chocolate is cool to room temperature.
9. Fold in the whipped cream to the chocolate.
