Lore
Tom’s title is a playful stretch of tiramisu, but the format is serious: chocolate mousse has to be light enough to spoon, stable enough to hold in cups, and recognisably connected to the coffee-and-cocoa family of the original dessert. The verified Series 16 record gives the name and Chocolate Week handshake; it does not provide the exact recipe.
Recipe source pending
No exact or near-exact public recipe for Tom’s handshake bake was located in the verified research pass. No chocolate percentage, coffee component, mousse setting method, or cup decoration is invented here.
