Instructions
Oreo cookies crust
- Grease a 9 inch / 23 cm diameter pie dish.
- Mix the oreo cookies finely and add the melted butter and mix.
- Pour this mixture into the bottom of the pie dish and press down to form a cookie bottom.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Chocolate mousse
- Heat the eggs and sugar in a double boiler and control the temperature which must reach at least 131°F / 55°C while mixing constantly with a whisk.
- Let the mixture cool a little and during this time melt the dark chocolate in the microwave.
- Stir in the melted chocolate, vanilla extract and salt to the egg and sugar mixture and let it cool.
- Place the softened butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes, until you have a soft butter.
- Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream to a thick consistency and set aside.
- Lower the speed of the mixer and gradually incorporate the chocolate mixture and mix again for about 5 minutes.
- Finish by adding the whipped cream with a spatula and mix gently until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous texture.
Chocolate curl
- Place a baking sheet in the freezer for about ten minutes and during this time melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler.
- Spread the melted chocolate on the cold baking sheet with an offset spatula in a thin layer.
- As soon as the chocolate is cold and no longer shiny, scrape it with a stainless steel spatula to form curls of different sizes and set aside in a fresh place.
Whipped cream
- Place the cold heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Whip on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until you have a thick whipped cream.
