Then prepare the milk and dark chocolate mousse which will be placed in the inner bottom part of the dessert. Using a 2.5 cm-diameter ring place the chocolate sponge cake on the bottom and alternate the chocolate mousse with some dark chocolate discs; then chill. Finish the dessert with the coffee bavarian, pour in the mould, stick in the inside and, finally, the bottom; chill to -25°C.
