    Right this time last year I stepped into the blogging world. I published my first recipe for the world to see and since then there was no turning back. I was such a rookie . Knew nothing how blogging works. All I knew was I can create and that creation needs  to be shared with you. But I guess that was not enough when it comes to blogging. Recipe development is just a part of it . I had to concentrate on clicking great pictures , which btw was such a task and I sucked big time 🙁 I had to write more than a recipe .. mmmm not a good writer and not very expressive. 

    fmc4saveforweb

    Blogging helped me enrich myself . It helped me discover the NEW me. I started working on my weaknesses . It was difficult to balance my private life with this new learning curve but stubborn me, I had to do it. And  I felt so so good. I created my own blog without any physical help. Learnt few tricks of CSS reading books and lot of surfing online. It was like going back to school but more like self study. I felt so accomplished. I slowly started paying attention to food styling and photography as they are key elements to your recipe. Lol I still struggle taking good pictures but I am enjoying this learning phase . And handling the social media , don’t even get me started .. I am so bad at it .

    I am lucky to be a part of beautiful blogger community and connecting with so many talented yet humble blogger friends virtually . I am so thankful to them for patiently answering my queries .. love ya all . 

    Please don’t get me emotional now , let’s go back to the recipe .

    fmc20

    So why did I think of  making a no bake eggless Ferrero Rocher mousse cake ?

    A cake is a must for any celebration . So for this occasion I wanted to include my favorites in one recipe and keep it super simple. 

    So no ovens , no fancy appliances but insanely sinful and decadent cake . Something that each one of you can make. I had this idea forever which I really wanted to try, hence this no bake eggless Ferrero Rocher mousse cake.

    fmccleanlightersave-for-webHave you felt chocolate nirvana yet? You will after biting into this airy Ferrero Rocher mousse that will just melt in your mouth. It will just send you to trance mode , but I even have these luscious layer of rich chocolate and crunchy devilish layer of Oreos which will again bring you back to sanity . The entire package is filled with great sugar rush .

    So if it is no bake then what is it made of ?

    7 ingredients and 3 layers of ultimate goodness.

    The bottom layer is a mix of Oreos , grounded hazelnuts and butter. If you don’t have hazelnuts just skip it.

    fmcmakinge

    The middle layer – the star , made up of chocolate plus nutella ( this screams ferrero flavors) plus heavy cream …… mmmm heaven !

    The top layer was simple chocolate ganache –  a last minute idea ,but I would say it just completes the ferrero rocher experience. 

    fmcmakingImageI know how much you have loved my previous cakes and I would like to call this one  super simple recipe too. Now it’s  your verdict to decide whether it is no fail recipe or not , for me it is . 

    Look at this , I mean just look the picture below ..  how airy yet firm it is.

    fmclow18 

    Left the cake at room temperature for 5 hours at the kitchen counter away from direct sunlight and it was still in great shape 🙂

    I love decorating my cakes with fresh flowers   so chose this simple decoration which took me just 5 minutes.This took my cake to a next level altogether . I chose my favorite flowers – carnations and in my favorite color pink. Plus the awesome ferrero rocher , how can we skip that  . Place as many as you like 🙂

    fmc8savefordevice

    Your loved ones will surely be impressed by your non baking skills 🙂 calls for a High five right !

    Look at the pretty cake slice sitting decked up calling your name. 

    fmc15saveforweb

    I wish you could take a bite , but I am sure you will definitely make it. 

    fmcbright1saveforweb

    I have to admit testing out this idea was a bummer the first time . In the process of making my bowl of chocolate seized on me. I had use the best couverture chocolate – Callebaut  . Chocolate seizes when it’s burnt or if it comes in contact with water or sudden temperature changes. And here I suspect the temperature change. I did a dumb mistake of adding more cream which was chilled to the melted chocolate while it was warm .I love working with chocolate and this is  very first time it seized , I blame the excitement . Well  lesson learnt now. The seized chocolate is still sitting in my fridge , I may experiment saving it and making buttercream or something, sigh!!

    So after all the screaming and punching myself I started all over again , did not take much time though. Only loss of precious chocolate and one more extra bowl to wash up.

    Please go through the post , recipe and tips carefully for assured success 🙂

    Ingredients

    • For the bottom layer
    • 147 grams standard size Oreos with cream inside – 10 pieces
    • 20 grams hazelnuts* optional
    • 3 tablespoons melted butter
    • For the middle layer
    • 350 ml / 1.5 cups chilled heavy whipping cream
    • 150 grams / ½ cup Nutella
    • 6 oz / 205 grams / 1 cup approx. semi - sweet Baking/cooking chocolate chopped
    • 75 ml / ¼ cup cream more for melting chocolate
    • 1 teaspoon corn flour / cornstarch
    • For the top layer
    • 4 oz/113 grams / 3/ 4cups approx. semi – sweet cooking/ baking chocolate / chocolate chips
    • 2.5 oz / 75 ml heavy cream
    • For decoration
    • flowers
    • Ferrero Rocher’s

    Instructions

    • Lightly grease a 6” spring form pan with butter/oil and dust it with flour, the way you prepare a pan for baking.
    • For the bottom layer
    • Crush the Oreos and hazelnuts in a food processor / mixer until sand like texture.
    • Take it out in a bowl.
    • Drizzle melted butter over it and coat it until butter is well mixed.
    • Put the mixture in the greased pan pressing it down firmly with a back of a spoon or base of a small bowl to level the mixture evenly .
    • Place the pan in the fridge for 20 minutes to chill and set.
    • For the middle layer
    • Mix the 75 ml cream and the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt it in the microwave on 50 % power until smooth and without lumps. It takes around a minute . Stop and stir every 15 seconds.
    • Alternately you can melt the chocolate with cream by using double boiler method.
    • Once chocolate is melted and shinny keep aside to cool down a bit.
    • Now in another microwave safe bowl melt the Nutella for 30 seconds to soften it up a bit . This will help loosen it and mix well later.
    • Keep it aside to cool a bit.
    • Now in a big bowl whip the 1.5 cups chilled cream until it starts to thicken. Now add in sifted corn flour .
    • Continue whipping until a bit stiffer peaks. Be careful, do not overmix or it will turn into butter and become useless.
    • By this time chocolate should be cool to touch .
    • Now add a big spoonful of stiffened chilled cream to the chocolate bowl and fold in gently with a spoon until mixed well.
    • This is done so that the chocolate doesn’t get a shock when mixed with the rest of the cream.
    • Now add the cream mixed chocolate back to the chilled cream bowl.
    • Give the Nutella bowl a vigorous 10 seconds mix with a spoon to loosen . Now add the Nutella to the chilled stiffened cream too .
    • Gently fold the chocolate and Nutella in by a spoon / spatula using cut and fold method . We want the mousse to be fluffy and airy.
    • Now take out the spring form pan from the fridge and gently spoon the mousse in it.
    • You may lick the leftovers .
    • Gently tap the pan on the kitchen counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
    • Level the mousse with the back of the spoon or an offset spatula.
    • Cover the pan with a cling wrap or a foil on the top .
    • Place it back in the fridge to chill for atleast 6 hours or overninght .
    • For top layer.
    • For chocolate ganache, place the chocolate in a bowl.
    • In another microwave safe bowl heat the cream until a simmer , not boiling . You may heat up the cream in a saucepan on stovetop too .
    • Now pour the hot cream over the chocolate.
    • Let it sit undisturbed for 10 seconds.
    • Now slowly start stirring it until chocolate is melted and shinny.
    • If chocolate is not completely melted you may re warm the mixture for few seconds.
    • Let it be cool to touch.
    • Now pour it over the set mousse and spread evenly.
    • Place it back in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour and your ganache will be set.
    • Now remove the pan from the fridge .
    • With a sharp knife just loosen the edges of the pan in a circular motion, remember not to cut through the cake.
    • Gently open up the springform pan by pulling the tab and unlocking it.
    • Give the ring a wiggle and try to pull it up gently.
    • You may garnish and serve right away or refrigerate covered for upto 5 days.
    • For clean cake slices use a sharp knife to cut through the top layer, the mousse and the oreo layer.
    • Insert a spatula under the oreo layer to pull it out.

    Notes

    If hazelnut is unavailable use 2 more oreos , in total -12 pieces 176 grams .
    The method might look elaborate but it is really very simplified .
    Use non dairy cream like troplite or riche if you reside in India
    Compound chocolate works well
    Any chocolate with 56% or more cocoa will give rich results.
    This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on your pan size .
    Make sure your spring form pan is locked before you start the process.
    You may use a cake board before placing the oreo layer to start with if you are carrying this cake out of the house.
    If you do not have a mixer , you may crush the oreos putting it into a ziplock bag and with a rolling pin.
    You may use a non electrical hand held balloon whisk to thicken the cream.
    If I have missed anything, please drop me a query down in the comments if any.

    Reader’s residing in India – Important UPDATE!

    I have been getting many messages, whether or not you can use Amul cream. I haven’t personally tested the recipe with it.I have used heavy whipping cream here. But of what I know , amul cream has 25% fat only , which is really less for setting . May be you need to increase the amount of chocolate by ¼ cup to set it and additional 1 tablepoon cornstarch. There is no harm in experimenting. But your best bet is rich or troplite non dairy whipped topping as mentioned in the notes.

    And you can refer to the video link here for whipping Amul cream to workable peaks.

      Hi Khushboo,
      Beautiful cake. I want to make this for a special day and I don’t have a springform pan. Can I make it in a regular cake pan and successfully remove it on a serving tray?
      Thanks,
      Shweta.

        No, if you turn it, it will smash. You will need a springform pan or make an overhang parchment from the base to the top for easy removal of the cake without inverting it.

      Hi Khushboo, I made this cake for my sister’s birthday a few days ago and it turned out amazing! Before topping the finished cake with Ferrero Rocher chocolates, I drizzled the top of the cake with Nutella (using melted Nutella in a ziplock bag with the corner cut). I also roasted hazelnuts and chopped them to place them in the middle of the cake. My family was so impressed with me lol- thank you so much for sharing such a great eggless, gelatin-free recipe! 🙂

      The cake has been in the fridge for only 3 hours and my hubby keeps bugging me to have a taste of it. Pure torture hahaha. It looks really good I hope it will Look like yours. I thought it was a bit like a creamy texture when I put it in the pan compare to yours when it’s ready to eat so I really hope it’s ok. I did double the filling because I used a bigger pan.

      Hi

      Thank you for sharing this recipe. Can I use agar agar to set this even better in case we have to take it outside? What would be the quantity of agar agar to be used? Also, The non dairy whipping cream that we get in India is already sweet so using that, will it affect the overall sweetness of the cake ? Or should we use the Amul 30% fat Whipping cream

        September 22, 2020 at 10:57 am

        Hi Swati, if you are using the non-dairy whipping cream, skip the sugar in the recipe. It is sturdy enough to hold if you take it outside. Just not directly under the sun. Don’t use Amul if non-dairy is available.

      Hey, I used LeBourne chocolate compound instead of Nutella, I set up a doible boiler for melting the chocolate. After tthe chocolate was completely melted I mixed it with my Whipped cream and found out that the chocolate had become into solid pieces unable to mix properly. What might be the problem here?
      I also mixed the 2 oreos crushed into my whipped cream.

        Hi Anjul, I suspect your chocolate has seized. Did you first scoop up some cream and gently fold into the chocolate? This is necessary so that the chocolate doesn’t get shocked when mixing the entire cream.

          Hello Anjul, as I mentioned earlier that chocolate is tricky to work with. Look at my 17th – 19th points in the instructions. I have mentioned about adding a dollop of cream into the chocolate first before proceeding.

        Is it whipped already or is it in liquid form . You may use the store bought whipped cream as long as before mixing it has soft peaks meaning already whipped stage.

      Just a small question, do you melt the chocolate with Amul fresh cream or Riche non-dairy whipping cream.

        Skip the bottom layer and use your preferred chocolate cake sponge layer instead. I would suggest height of the sponge layer be 1/2″.

      Hi Khushbo,

      I a big fan of your recipes. Your ferro rocher cake was on my list for so long and finally made it today on my anniversary. I just loved it. Couldn’t believe that I made it. 😀
      Have two queries 1) while making the middle layer which cream is used along with chocolate? I used heavy cream.
      2)while cutting the pieces the bottom layer did not come out clean. Most of it got stuck to the pan. I m using non stick springform pan. Any tips?
      Tia
      Lots of wishes,
      Anu

        Happy Anniversary Anu! Glad you liked the recipe. I have used Heavy whipping cream here. If you reside in India thrn non dairy whipping cream like Troplite in freezer section works the best. What was the pan size used? Did you grease your pan well? Allow the cake to stand at room temperature for atleast 10-15 minutes before cutting. Use a pie server or a sturdy spatula to take out the slice.

      Hi khushboo
      Can you give any info on cake improver/emulsifier/ gel which are used in eggless cakes in bakeries? Nowadays many housewives are using the same to make their cakes fluffy and light like store- bought ones. Have you used it anytime?

        Hello Mina, I stick to basic accessible ingredients for my bakes. Haven’t used them yet. I know gel is made from gelatin and we do not consume it being vegetarian . It is used by bakeries to stabilize ganache and whipped cream.

      Hello Khushbu, loved the recipe looking forward to making it for my daughters 21st birthday. This will be my first time baking a cake! Also I will be carrying it to NY from SAn Jose. Do you think I can make this? When you say heavy whip cream is it the one we get in the carton?
      If you have any other recommendations for any other cake that will be able to hold up in travel do let know pls. My daughter loves chocolate and everyone loves your cakes. Waiting for your response.
      Congrats on the anniversary !

        Hello Gauri, I haven’t traveled with this cake. But it stays well in a cool dry place for up to 4 hours. Use the heavy whipping cream that comes in the carton and whip it. Set it in the fridge overnight or 8-12 hours. Travel with the pan and unmold it at the venue. It should work if it is not under direct sunlight for long. Otherwise you may try my death by chocolate cake .. step by step on the blog, or the chocolate cake with buttercream or ganache frosting . Good luck!

      Hi Khushboo,

      Thanks for posting just an awesome recipe.. I have two questions

      1. For the mousse part, can’t i only do only nutella and cream, what difference is the chocolate making in the mouse mixture? and if i skip the chocolate part, do i still need to add the cornflour?

      2. I see in the picture above that the ganache layer is a thick one and only on top, how do I got about covering the entire cake with a thin layer of ganache, would that work too? (I was just thinking to cover the cake with a thin layer of ganache and then decorate with sprinkles of hazelnut on top and chopped hazelnuts on the side, any suggestions?)

      Would appreciate if you could reply by 27th may.. have to make it for 28th may.. sorry for the rush rush.

      Thanks a lot again.

        Hello Gudiya, chocolate makes it more sturdy. However you may increase the quantity of Nutella and see if it is sturdy enough. The top ganache layer is optional. You may do a thin layer if you wish or skip it too.

      How are you doing?..Loved this cake and want to try it soon. I wanted to ask you, can I use a dairy whipping cream with 34% fat? Also should I use a double blender for bearing the cream or the attachment that is generally used for whisking eggs or curd?

      Looking forward to your reply.

      Thanks

        Chaitali this cake is rich on it’s own and using other frosting will interfere in the taste. Keeping it simple is good sometimes:) You may drizzle some melted white or dark chocolate. Or top it with some fresh fruits. You may top it with some colorful sprinkles or candies too.

      I have couple of questions : for the middle layer you mentioned 1/4 cup of CREAM so what kind of cream.
      other question is what other kind of frosting can i use, I want to use other color with chocolate ganache ! please suggest me some ideas. TIA.

        Hi Hetal, I haven’t tried it with cool whip personally but why not. You may substitute 2 cups of thawed cool whip for every 1 cup heavy cream called for without whipping. Because the final heavy cream is always twice it’s size. It should work. Let me know.

        absolutely yes Shilpa , will you be layering it? For cake in a jar this works great , just scoop some mousse and then top with some broken oreos and alternate layers 2-3 times. It needs to be refrigerated until eaten so I am thinking how will it turn out if you are thinking of giving as return gifts.

        Hi Divyani , springform pan is needed because you cannot invert this cake to release . You may use heavy duty foil inside your normal cake pan leaving a verhang to lift up the entire cake. Baking chocolate is preferred . Is it heavy whipping cream that you have bought ?

        Manolina , you can use 18 cms which is closest to 6″ , you may use any other too .. it’s just that the height will reduce tad bit , that’s it 🙂 in India I suggest Rich or Troplite found in freezer section of grocery/ departmental stores.

Baker’s semi sweet chocolate bars are easily available in all departmental stores, use that or any cooking / baking chocolate in bar form with 50 % or more cocoa . I don’t prefer choco chips for this one but you can use it, I use it a lot in other recipes. I love semi – sweet chocolates . Looking forward to your re creation.

      I wanted to know about the whipping cream since I am in India, any idea which cream should I buy for the middle layer, for the ganache I usually use amul cream.

        Yes you may use amul cream for this one. I will update my post shortly. It won’t have stiff peaks , only soft peaks. It has only 25 % fat so may be more cornflour needed. So that is fine. You may use non dairy whipping cream as mentioned.Thank you so much for the lovely wishes.
