INGREDIENTS

2 packets (133g each) chocolate sandwich biscuits
cup Oude Meester Peppermint Liqueur, plus 2 tbsp for the cookie base
4 slabs (80g each) dark chocolate, roughly chopped
2 cups (560ml) cream

Serving suggestion:
Mint chocolate, roughly chopped
Mint sprigs
Oude Meester Peppermint Liqueur on the rocks

*Microwave cooking times may vary due to wattage; use the timings below as a guide.

METHOD

1. Line the bottom and sides of an 20cm springform cake tin with baking paper and set aside until needed.
2. Add the chocolate sandwich biscuits to a resealable plastic bag and lightly bash into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
3. Transfer the biscuits to a heatproof bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the Oude Meester Peppermint Liqueur to the crumbs to ensure the mixture is wet enough. Transfer the crumbs to the cake tin and using a glass, firmly press the biscuit mixture into the bottom of the tin creating the base for the cake. Refrigerate while making the mousse filling.
4. In a large heatproof bowl, combine cup (60ml) of the cream with cup of Peppermint Liqueur. Microwave for about 1 minutes until just hot. *Chef`s Tip: Ensure the mixture doesn't boil.
5. Add in the chopped chocolate while the cream is warm. Allow it to sit for a minute before stirring until smooth and glossy. If all the chocolate doesn't melt, microwave the mixture for another minute stirring in 15-second intervals. Allow to cool for 5-7 minutes.
6. In a large clean bowl, beat the remaining 2 cups cream using an electric mixer until firm peaks form. *Chef`s Tip: To ensure the cream has reached firm peaks, you should be able to tip the bowl upside-down without any cream moving.
7. In 2 batches, carefully fold the cream through the cooled chocolate without bumping out too much air.
8. Transfer the mousse filling to the cake tin over the biscuit base. Smooth with a spatula, cover and refrigerate for 3-3 hours or until set.
9. Garnish the mousse cake with roughly chopped mint chocolate and fresh mint sprigs and ENJOY with a glass of Oude Meester Peppermint liqueur served over ice! *Chef`s Tip: To slice neatly, run a knife under hot water and dry before slicing.
