Flavor, Taste, and Texture of the Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden
The description of the cake says that it's rich layered cake with chocolate cake, dark chocolate cheesecake, and creamy custard mousse. I would say that this is a very dense and sweet option that makes it perfect for sharing. After a few bites, you’ll feel satiated, especially if you’re rounding out your meal.
The Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden is a creamy dessert with visible layers. There is the cake layer on the bottom followed by chocolate cheesecake, and then the custard mousse. It has chocolate chips on the exterior edge and a sort of ganache topping. Because of the various layers, you’ll notice different textures: the dryer bite of chocolate cake, the smooth cheesecake, and crunch of chocolate chips.
My favorite part was the chocolate cheesecake portion, the chocolate ganache on top, and the chocolate chips. This is a great cake if you're a chocolate lover, but if you don't like chocolate, then you probably would want to get something else.
I tasted all the current options from the Olive Garden dessert menu and Black Tie Mousse Cake was one of my favorites. I preferred this much more than the strawberry cheesecake, but you might like strawberry if you want a fruity dessert.
For Here or To Go?
The cake slice was just as tasty when I brought it home as when I ate it in the store. This is a great option if you want to a dessert to carry away or bring back with out. If you order it to eat at the restaurant, it comes on a plate with a chocolate drizzle to give it a nice decoration.
Price of the Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake
The price may vary based on your Olive Garden location. I'm in the San Diego area and it was over $10 for the slice. The Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake not an affordable dessert by any means, but it seems about the same price as other desserts in the area.
