Instructions
Creating the Oreo Mousse Cake involves a series of straightforward steps. Follow these instructions for sumptuous results:
1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled Oreo cookies with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
2. Form the Crust: Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it is compact and even. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the mousse.
3. Make the Mousse: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
4. Combine Cream Cheese and Chocolate: In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and melted chocolate until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and mix well.
5. Fold Whipped Cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully combined and smooth.
6. Layer the Mousse: Pour the mousse over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top using a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the mousse to set completely.
8. Prepare Ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the milk chocolate and heavy cream until melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Allow to cool slightly.
9. Top the Cake: Once the mousse is set, carefully pour the ganache over the top and spread evenly.
10. Decorate: Garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies on top.
11. Serve: Release the sides of the springform pan to reveal the layered cake. Cut into slices and enjoy!
