Chocolate Ganache Mousse Cake

This recipe was adapted from Dr. Anastasia Halldin. Click here to get the original recipe. I substituted out some of the maple syrup for raw honey in the crust and changed the proportions slightly. It is not overly sweet but the rich taste of chocolate is quite satisfying. Yum.
