Creating the Triple Nutella Mousse Cake involves several steps, each contributing to the dessert’s overall texture and flavor. Follow these instructions carefully for the best results:

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Make Mousse
- Dissolve gelatin in cold water; let stand for 5 minutes.
- Heat Nutella and ½ cup cream in a saucepan until melted. Remove from heat; stir in salt and gelatin until dissolved. Let cool.
- Whip the remaining cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the cooled Nutella mixture.
- Spoon the mousse over the cooled brownie base. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
3. Prepare Topping
