• Leave cake to become cold in pan.
• Cover cake pan w/foil and freeze for several hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, place cake pan in hot water to loosen cake (for me this step wasn't necessary, I used foil instead of greaseproof paper to line my pan, and enough of it was hanging over for me to just cover the cake and freeze, which I just later pulled, and the cake came out w/it! No hot water dipping!) Invert cake onto serving dish and fill centre w/extra fresh fruit if desired.
• BERRY SAUCE: Blend or process berries w/icing sugar until smooth, strain.
• Pour berry sauce over slices cut, and serve-- Mmmm.

Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add yolks one at a time beating after each one. In second bowl, beat egg whites till they reach soft peaks. Gradually add sugar and continue beating till they are stiff. In a third bowl beat the heavy cream till stffly whipped. Fold egg whites gently into whipped cream. Then fold egg/cream mixture into choclate till thouroghly mixed but taking care not to deflate your mixture. Pour into your prepared pan and put into freezer for at least 4 hours.

FROZEN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE CAKE

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and butter; press into 9-inch springform pan. Sprinkle nuts over crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
• Mousse: Melt chocolate chips and set aside to cool slightly. Blend cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat egg yolks and combine. Mix in cooled chocolate.
• Using another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add sugar slowly and beat until stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture. Whip cream and fold into chocolate mousse. Pour into springform pan. Cover with tin foil and place in freezer. Remove from freezer and refrigerate 5 hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate curls or chocolate sprinkles.
• Note: We quite often entertain on a smaller scale. I really do not like having a lot of leftovers, so I will half the recipe and serve it up in smaller springform pans or make the whole recipe (using 2 smaller springform pans) and have an extra dessert on hand for when surprise company come in (the recipe states that it needs to thaw for 5 hours, but I think 1 hour would do in a pinch).
