2. Bring the cream to a boil, pour over chocolate chips, and whisk until chocolate is completely melted, and combined.  Ganache should be slightly warmer than room temp. when pouring over cake.  (***Too hot would melt the mousse, and if it's too cool, it will not pour smoothly over cake and will appear lumpy!)

1- 8in. board
1- 10in. board or plate
whipped chocolate malt mousse
chilled chocolate pudding
2- 8in. cakes split evenly in half
garnish:  ganache, cookie or cake crumbs, candies, etc.!

DIRECTIONS

1. On an 8in. cake board, take your first cake layer, place a layer of chocolate pudding evenly over cake, and stack another cake layer.  Layer an even amount of Chocolate Malt Mousse, and then stack next cake layer. On top of cake, spread an even layer of chocolate pudding.  (Starting on bottom, should be : cake, chocolate pudding, cake, mousse, cake, chocolate pudding, and 4th layer of cake on top!)  Ice the top and sides with rest of Chocolate Malt Mousse.  
2. Finish with crumbs, or ganache.  Take pictures, slice, and enjoy!!
