To garnish:

Berries (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Oreo crust. While setting in the fridge, prepare the milk chocolate mousse.
- In a heatproof pan, add the milk chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Apply the pan over a dish with simmering water, over low heat, until the milk chocolate is melted and combined.
- In the meantime, mix gelatin into the cold water and let it sit for 3 minutes to set. Then, apply the gelatin over low heat until it dissolves and put it over the melted milk chocolate mixture. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the remaining 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream until creamy. Pour the melted milk chocolate mixture, then the egg yolk, and beat until incorporated.
- Pour the milk chocolate mixture over the crust and refrigerate for around 15-20 minutes to set, until you prepare the next chocolate mousse layer.
- Repeat the same procedure for making the white chocolate mousse and then the dark chocolate mousse layer.
- To finish, spread chocolate ganache over the cake and refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours (or ideally overnight) to set.
- After that, run a sharp knife around the edges of the triple mousse cake in order to remove the sides of the dish.
- Before serving, decorate with chocolate candies, or fresh berries (if desired).
- Keep the cake in the freezer and remove around 1 hour before serving to sit at a room temperature.
Enjoy!
