SWISS CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TORTE

Category: Tortes

12 chocolate Swiss roll cakes
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
2 (2.8 oz) boxes European Style Milk Chocolate Mousse Mix

Lightly coat an 8 x 3-in. springform pan with nonstick spray. Slice each cake into seven 1/4-in.-thick rounds. Arrange 2 rows around side of pan. Fit remaining slices to cover bottom of pan.

Beat cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Prepare both boxes of mousse mix as label directs, using only 1 cup cold water total instead of the milk. Fold 1/4th the mousse into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining mousse until blended. Spoon into lined pan. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight. To serve, remove pan sides.

Add 1/4 tsp mint extract to the mousse.

Garnish with dollops of whipped cream or additional slices of cake.
