Fantastic! Very simple to make. I used crushed oreo cookies w/o the centers for the bottom. Topped with canned whipped cream. Next time I'll put strawberries along the bottom as suggested by another poster, I think that'd taste delicious. Also, I used "whipping cream" instead of "heavy cream" and it worked out just fine - the recipe calls for "heavy whipping cream" and it all worked out fine.

This was SO good! And SO easy!!! Definitely try this recipe. I made it exactly as written. You do NOT need 2 pints of strawberries... I used less than one pint.

This was beautiful, easy & delicious! I followed the recipe exactly & it came out almost perfectly. I used chocolate graham teddy bears (crushed of course) for the crust. I think next time I will bake the crust for a few minutes before filling, to get it more set & not so crumbly. Be sure & leave the "cake" in the fridge until serving time so that it remains good & set. I garnished w/ fresh blueberries & sliced strawberries.

I made this for a birthday party last night. It was loved by all who ate it! Also it was very easy to make, especially on a hot day with no air conditioning. I added a pile of strawberries to the top sitting on top of whipped cream.. really beautiful. Thankyou!! it's recipes like this that make the average baker look like a super-star baker!

This is so pretty. I used plain digestive crumbs instead of chocolate cookie crumbs but otherwise followed the recipe. I did have to make more biscuit base but all the other measurements are perfect. Served it at a barbecue and it was gone very quickly. Thanks

MMMM!!!! This cake turned out really well! Hubby doesn't like the cake-y type cakes, so this one was right up his alley. The blend of intense chocolate flavor mixed with fresh strawberries is divine, and I wasn't even that thrilled with the quality of the strawberries I used. It presented nicely with the ring of strawberries around it, and the homemade whipped cream set it off perfectly, not being too sweet, but full of real cream flavor. (Do not use canned...it will only insult this yummy cake!) I would agree with a previous reviewer about not giving it to your children before bedtime...bounce, bounce, bounce....lol

This is amazing!!! I made it just as is the first time and it was so good! Think I'll try adding some raspberries the next time - if you like chocolate, you'll love this one!

Please follow this wonderful recipe exactly. I didn't and I wished I had. I couldn't find cookie crumbs so I used a chocolate pie shell and crumbled it up. Using a bit less butter, I mixed it with the crumbles and pressed it in. It was a disaster and stuck to the springform pan. Of course the best part is the mousse with fresh strawberries and the presentation (sans crust) is still beautiful. Thank you for this very easy, non-cook dessert that will get oohs and ahs from your guests!

Wow! This is a great recipe. Everyone loved it and said it looked beautiful. I followed the recipe exactly and had enough crust, mousse & topping, so the measurements are perfect. I usually do not find that is the case with a lot of recipes, for some reason I always have to make more of something. I made it with milk choc chips because some of the other reviews said it was really rich, however it didn't seem too rich so I will definitely try it with the semi-sweet next time, I bet it would be better that way. I use this website all the time and this is probably the best recipe I have ever made, my husband said it was definitely the best dessert I've ever made. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a very impressive looking dessert that is *very* easy to do. I am never able to find chocolate cookie crumbs in the baking aisle. I use Oreo cookies, remove the filling and put them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to smash them (great job for a kid) or put them in the food processor. The chocolate crust is well worth the effort. I didn't make any changes in the ingredients but to save a step I added the chocolate chips to the warm corn syrup mixture and stirred until smooth instead of running it through the blender. It came out perfectly. I made it for my father-in-law's birthday and everyone loved it!

I have made this recipe many times and each time it gets rave reviews. The last couple times I have made this, I also sliced strawberries and spread them on the bottom before adding mousse.

This was okay, but almost rich even for me (and I like rich desserts). Instead of making the crust, I used a storebought chocolate crust. Other than that, I followed the recipe. I think I would try making this again using milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet. I think that would be more to our tastes.

I brought this into work today and everyone fell in love with it! Instead of just whipped cream on top, I made a white chocolate mousse following the same premise as the dark chocolate mouse. For convenience, I also used chocolate graham cracker crumbs instead of chocolate cookie crumbs. It came out beautifully! Thanks!
