Method

For the base

Open each dark chocolate biscuit and scrape and discard the middle creamy layer.
Place the biscuits on a butter paper or rolling board and crush the biscuits to a coarse powder with the help of a rolling pin.
Transfer the crushed biscuit powder to a bowl, add the almonds and butter and mix well.
Spread and press the mixture into the base of a 175 mm. (7") loose bottomed cake tin and refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Combine the chocolate and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and mix gently.
Strain the chocolate-milk mixture using a sieve. Allow to cool at room temperature.
Add the vanilla essence, beaten whipped cream and sugar and fold gently. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Pour the mousse mixture evenly over the prepared biscuit base and spread it evenly using a palate knife.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or till the mousse sets.
Pour the chocolate truffle on the mousse cake and spread it evenly using a palate knife.
Refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
