Prepare the chocolate mousse: Gently heat 250ml of heavy cream in a saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale. Pour the hot cream over the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then return the mixture to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (crème anglaise). Do not boil.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate and softened butter until smooth and fully incorporated. Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly. Whip the remaining 250ml of heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cooled chocolate mixture to create the mousse.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Assemble the cake: Place one waffle on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of chocolate mousse over it. Arrange a layer of fresh raspberries on top of the mousse.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Place another waffle on top and repeat the layering process with mousse and berries. Continue layering waffles, mousse, and berries until all waffles are used, ending with a layer of mousse.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Chill the waffle cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh blueberries.
