6οΈβ£ Assembling the Cake
Remove the mold from the refrigerator and pour the banana mousse over the biscuit base. Smooth the surface with a spatula or spoon to ensure it's even.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap, making sure it doesn't touch the surface of the cake, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For best results, it's recommended to let it chill overnight.

For clean cuts, use a hot knife and dry it between each slice.
