Step 1

For the crust, add the oreos to a food processor and crush for around 1 minute. Add the melted butter and process until it's evenly wet. You can also crush the cookies by placing them in a zip bag and using something like a rolling pin to crush them, and then mix them with the melted butter in a bowl.

Step 2

Add the mix to an 8-inch (20-cm) pan and even it out with a spoon or the bottom of a cup. It's better if it's a springform pan, but you can also use a pan with a removable bottom. Put it in the fridge until the first layer is ready.

Step 3

Place 2.5 gelatin sheets into a small bowl of cold water.

Step 4

Add the dark chocolate and 1/4 cup (60g) of heavy cream into a heat-proof bowl. Place it over a saucepan with simmering water, and at low heat, stir it until the chocolate is melted.

Step 5

Add the gelatin sheets to the bowl with the chocolate and mix it really well. Then let everything cool down to room temperature or until it doesn't feel warm to the touch (be careful not to leave it too long so the mixture doesn't set).

Step 6

Whip the cup (240g) of heavy cream (better if it's chilled) in a big bowl until stiff peaks, and then add the melted chocolate and mix until combined.

Step 7

Add the mixture to the pan with the crust, and even it out. Leave it in the fridge until the next layer.

Step 8

For the strawberry layer, add the strawberries to a food processor and blend until they are liquid. (Optional: After it's liquid, pass it through a sieve in case you don't want seeds.)

Step 9

Place three gelatin sheets into a small bowl of cold water.

Step 10

Add the strawberry liquid and 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar to a medium-heat pan and stir until the sugar is mixed (a few mins)

Step 11

Place the resulting liquid into a bowl, add the gelatin sheets, and mix it really well. Then leave it in the fridge until it's not warm to the touch, around 30–60 minutes. If the gelatin has started to set, whisk well until smooth and loose again.

Step 12

Whip the 1 + 1/4 cup (300g in total) of heavy cream (better if it's cold) until stiff peaks, and then add the strawberry mixture and mix until combined.

Step 13

Add the mixture over the first chocolate layer and leave it for at least 3 hours.

Step 14

To remove the cake from the pan, run a knife along the edges of the pan.

Step 15

You can add optional cacao powder on top of the cake.
