Let cool. Whip the cream until it is thickened, but not hard. Fold in the melted chocolate. Spread the mixture over the cake base and smooth. Gently tap the cake pan on the countertop 2 or 3 times to eliminate any air bubbles. Place in refrigerator and begin with production of the second, white chocolate layer.
White chocolate layer
Repeat the same steps as with the dark chocolate layer. Place in the refrigerator and prepare the final dark chocolate layer.
Second dark chocolate layer Repeat steps as with the first dark chocolate layer. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.
Before unlocking the springform pan, run a sharp knife around the edge.
