10. In a small milk pot, add gelatine and water. Mix well and set aside.
11. In a pot, add ½ cup or 120ml whipping cream and lightly bring it to a boil. Remove from the heat and pour it over the cut chocolate. Stir well until it is combined. Make sure the chocolate is completely dissolved and no lumps. If you still find lumps, microwave for 1 minute.

13. Melt the gelatine over the heat, and then pour the gelatine into the chocolate mixture. Mix well.
14. Add the whipping cream into the chocolate mixture in few batches. After 2 batches, pour the chocolate mixture into the remaining whipping cream, and use a mixer to mix it well, until creamy and smooth.
15. Bring out the brownie from the fridge. Unwrap the clingflim and place it on a prepared 7-inch cake ring. Place the brownie in the middle of the ring. Pour the chocolate cream mixture into the ring. Spread it evenly and tap few time on the table, so that the surface is even.

17. In a milk pot, add gelatine and water. Mix well and set aside for at least 5 min.
18. In another pot, add sugar and cocoa powder, a quick mix. Then add water and whipping cream. Mix until everything is combined well. Over a low medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Once you see bubbles, remove from the heat. Sift the mixture into a glass container. Set it aside to cool or until it reaches 35°C/95°F.
19. Bring the firmed mousse from the fridge. Remove it from the ring. Once the mirror glaze reaches 35°C/95°F, pour it over the mousse cake. Let the chocolate drips until it stops. Use an offset spatula to clean up the drips. Add some grated chocolate around the rim of the cake. Refrigerate the cake for 1-2 hours.
Preparing the Chocolate Deco
20. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute.
21. Spread the melted chocolate evenly on a plastic strip. You can also use a non-stick parchment paper. Use a scraper comb to draw across the chocolate. Place the strip in a small cake pan against the side of the pan. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
22. For the curls, spread the melted chocolate evenly on a plastic strip. Let it set for 3-5 minutes or until it is almost dry. Use a cake scraper to scrap the chocolate. You will need to try a few times. If the chocolate is not set, let it sit for another minutes.
23. Decorate the cake with the chocolate strips and curls.
24. Cut the cake and ready to serve.
