NO-BAKE THREE CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
Look at those layers? If you like chocolate, you should definitely try this dessert!
I made this for a party over the holidays. Everyone loved it ! Now with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it it the perfect time for a decadent chocolate dessert.
And this one looks super cool. Chocolate layers, drippy ganache and it is made in a bundt pan, but it also is “no-bake”.
If you like the idea of a no-bake bundt cake, you may want to check out this Milk Strawberry Jell-O Mold Bundt Cake Recipe. It has been very popular on the blog lately.
You may not remember, but back, when I started my blog and did not really know what I was doing, I shared with you a recipe for a Three Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake.
Then recently, I’ve been thinking to update some old posts with new photos. I decided to make the mousse cake again.
But I did not. I tried something different instead.
This No-Bake Three Chocolate Cake is apparently a very popular cake.
I have not had it here in the States though. I searched for the recipe and found it only in foreign languages, then I asked my mom and she had a recipe of some sort, which I used and adapted.
It is a panna cotta style cake. The flavors are similar to this Tri-Layer Chocolate Panna Cotta, that I shared in April.

Place chocolate in a bowl and pour hot cream on top.
Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir with a rubber spatula. Stir continuously, until mixture gets smooth. Let it cool a little, before you use it, it still needs to be thin, so it drips down the cake.
TO SERVE:
When ready t0 remove the cake from the pan, use a hair dryer to heat the walls of the pan, or dip it in hot water for 30 - 60 seconds to loosen, then invert onto a serving platter.
Pour chocolate ganache on top and add berries for garnishing.
Recipe Notes
Hot liquid (4 cups heavy cream + 2 cups milk, divided into 3 equal parts, 2 cups each for 3 different chocolate layers, needs to be kept hot or reheated and poured over the different kinds of chocolate. You do need to wait for each layer to set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, before you carefully add the next layer). Some readers have reported that the dark and milk chocolate layers may turn very similar in color. We want them to be different! Since the dark chocolate layer is prepared last, feel free to add 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder + 1 tbsp sugar to the layer, in cake it looks similar in color to the milk chocolate.
