Assemble the layers and frost with whipped cream or buttercream to make the colors stand out. Not only does it look amazing but it’s also a treat to eat with its light texture and sweet flavors.

2. Tricolor Mousse

Tricolor Mousse has a creamy texture and the colors of the Indian flag. Each layer has a different flavor: tangy mango mousse (for saffron), creamy white chocolate mousse (for white) and refreshing mint mousse (for green). These flavors are easy to make with basic ingredients like cream, sugar and the respective fruit or flavor extracts. The mousse layers come together beautifully when poured carefully to create a stunning tricolor effect that will wow your guests.
