Here's what you'll need to make the cake.

• Oreos: Sandwich cookies provide the chocolate cake layers.
• Mousse: We use our 2-ingredient cookies and cream mousse made with crushed cookies. But you can use another mousse recipe.
• Milk: Dipping the cookies in milk will make the Oreos soften into a cake-like texture.

Instructions

The first step in making this mousse cake is to line the bottom of a small push-up pan or springform pan with parchment paper. After that, simply alternate layers of mousse and milk-dipped Oreos. Then let the dessert sit in the refrigerator overnight or a for a couple of hours in the freezer to set.

Variations

There are a lot of ways to change up this mousse cake recipe!

Use different flavor combinations of mousse and cookies. Chocolate chip cookie mousse or a decadent Oreo mascarpone mousse are some ideas. You can even mix Oreos into a no-bake grasshopper pie filling.

Make a quick mousse with heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Just beat 8 ounces of cream cheese until smooth with a cup of powdered sugar. Then, in a separate chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the two mixtures together for an easy mousse.

Tips

• Use a cake collar to prevent the sides of the cake from sticking to the sides of a springform pan. Cake collars aren't needed for push-up pans.
• Add garnish. Top with piped whipped cream. Then process one or two extra cookies in a food processor to a fine crumb to sprinkle over the top. Or use black cocoa powder for garnishing.

Serving suggestions

While the cake itself may be relatively simple, you can serve it up in many ways for maximum effect. Here are some serving suggestions on how to make your cake look even better than it tastes:

First off, consider adding a drizzle of your favorite chocolate sauce or jam onto the top of the finished product. Not only will this look amazing when presented at the dinner table, but it will also bring out all the sweet flavors in your dessert.

Or, try layering some fresh fruit such as strawberries or blueberries between each layer of mousse for added texture and flavor. You can even dress up the cake with Oreo cake pops on top!
