1. Prepare the crust. Place oreo biscuits in the bowl of a food processor and grind until crumbs form. Add melted butter and process until evenly moist.

2. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the bottom of the greased 8-inch (20 cm) spring-loaded pan. Refrigerate until the first layer of mousse is prepared.

3. Prepare the dark chocolate mousse. In a heatproof bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate and 1/2 cup (120g) whipped cream. Place the bowl over a saucepan with boiling water, and simmer until the chocolate has melted. Meanwhile, dissolve the gelatin in cold water and let it bloom for about 5 to 10 minutes. Place the gelatin over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, then pour over the melted chocolate mixture. Let the chocolate mixture cool completely at room temperature.

4. Beat the remaining 2/3 cup (160g) of cold whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Add melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.

5. Pour the chocolate mousse on top of the pie crust and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set slightly, until you’re ready for the next layer of chocolate mousse.

6. Repeat the same steps to prepare the milk and white chocolate mousse.

7. Put the cake in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight to set the cake.

8. Run the knife around the edges of the cake to remove the edges of the pan.

9. Before serving, top with cocoa powder and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Interesting!
