Notes

Blend 1/4 cup crushed Oreo into the mousse base to prevent the cookie layer from sinking.
Chill the cake for a minimum of 8 hours for easier slicing and optimal texture.
Add raspberry jam between layers for a tart contrast.
Place parchment paper under the springform pan to manage overflow during refrigeration.
Top with whole Oreos arranged in a star pattern and a dusting of chilled cocoa powder for decoration.
Refrigerate the assembled cake until serving, preferably keeping it chilled for 8–10 hours total for perfect firmness.
