So the restaurant that I work at uses a distributor that also supplies other restaurants, standard practice. So a while ago, they mis-stickered a case as avocado pulp, and upon opening it, we found out it wasn't. So it sat in the freezer for a few months before we got curious enough to thaw it out and figure out what it was.

So what it is:

bottom layer is chocolate devils food cake
then a layer of possibly mocha or fudge flavored mousse
then a layer of milk chocolate mousse
a thin layer of dark chocolate frosting
with chocolate curls on top.

So, because I don't know what store this should have gone too, nor the desserts name, nor the correct portion size, I don't know how to record it.

Have you eaten this and where? And how big a portion did you get?

    Sounds just like a typical devil's food cake with chocolate mousse icing. The chocolate shavings are just garnish. Try logging in a piece of chocolate devil's food cake and then also chocolate mousse icing.

    Triple Chocolate Mousse. Fairly common French patisserie cake. The mousse layers can vary slightly in flavors and order, and it can be in either individual servings (rounds or rectangles) or as slices from a larger cake.
