Instructions:

  • Make the Oreo crust. While setting in the fridge, prepare the pumpkin mousse.
  • Mix gelatin into the cold water and let it sit for 3 minutes to set.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, pour the pumpkin from the can and 1/2 cup heavy cream; set over low heat, stirring, until smooth and well incorporated (around 3 minutes).
  • Then, apply the gelatin in the mixture; stir to dissolve and combine with the other ingredients (1 minute). Remove from the heat; set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the remaining 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream until creamy. Pour the pumpkin gelatin mixture in it and beat until well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture over the crust (smooth the top with a spatula) and place in the fridge for around 15-20 minutes to set, until you prepare the next mousse layer.
  • The next procedure is almost the same: Mix gelatin into the cold water and let it sit for 3 minutes to set.
  • In a saucepan, pour the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup heavy cream; set over low heat, stirring, until smooth and well incorporated (around 3 minutes).
  • Then, apply the gelatin in the mixture; stir to dissolve and combine with the other ingredients (1 minute). Remove from the heat; set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the remaining 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream until creamy. Pour the pumpkin gelatin mixture in it and beat until well incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture over the pumpkin layer; smooth the top with a spatula. Place in the fridge for around 15-20 minutes to set.
  • Now, make the last layer. The process is quite similar: In a heatproof pan, add the white chocolate and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Apply the pan over a dish with simmering water, over low heat, until the chocolate is melted and combined.
  • In the meantime, mix gelatin into the cold water and let it sit for 3 minutes to set. Then, apply the gelatin over low heat until it dissolves and put it over the melted white chocolate mixture. Set aside to cool at room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the remaining 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream until creamy. Pour the melted chocolate mixture and beat until well incorporated. Spread over the pumpkin spice layer. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Put in the fridge for at least 6 hours (or ideally overnight) to set.
  • After that, run a sharp knife around the edges of the triple mousse cake in order to remove the sides of the dish.
  • Before serving, decorate with chocolate ganache and/or mini pumpkin chocolate cookies or simply dust with cocoa powder (if desired). Slice.
