If you feel like challenging your baking skills, here is an easy decadent chocolate mouse cake recipe that requires no baking!
I have borrowed the recipe from my mother-in-law as my husband loves it and I have to admit I love it too!
It's fancy enough for company or just family, yet easy enough for any occasion.
Using store-bought ladyfingers for structure makes this mouse easy as a breeze to prepare!
