- Cooking spray
- 1 (16.6-ounce) bag Oreo cookies
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
- 4 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 4 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 3/4 cups chilled whipping cream
Method
- Coat a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until roughly ground.
- Slowly add the butter and pulse until the Oreo crumbs just start to hold together.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press into the bottom.
- Put each of the types of chocolate chips in separate medium bowls.
- Combine the water and gelatin in a small bowl.
- Let stand for 10 minutes or until the gelatin softens.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar for 5 minutes or until the mixture is pale yellow and very thick.
- Bring the half-and-half just to a simmer in a large, heavy saucepan set over medium-high heat.
- Gradually whisk the hot half-and-half into the eggs, then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan.
- Stir over medium heat until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes (do not boil).
- Remove the custard from the heat.
- Add the softened gelatin, and stir until the gelatin dissolves.
- Strain the gelatin mixture into large glass measuring cup.
- Immediately pour one-third of the hot custard into each bowl of chocolate chips.
- Stir each chocolate with a separate spoon until melted and smooth.
- (If the mixture cools before the chocolate is completely melted, set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir just until the chocolate melts.)
- Let the chocolate mixtures cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Divide the whipped cream equally among the bowls of chocolate, using about 1 1/3 cups of whipped cream for each.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolates in each bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the bittersweet chocolate mixture into bottom of the prepared pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula, then chill for 10 minutes.
- Spread the milk chocolate mixture over the bittersweet chocolate layer.
- Smooth the top with a spatula, then chill for 10 minutes.
- Spread the white chocolate mixture over the milk chocolate layer.
- Smooth the top with a spatula, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- To store, cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to four days.
