Instructions for making chocolate yogurt mousse cake
Step 1: Making the chocolate terrine
- Preheat the oven to 160°C for about 15 minutes.
- Beat 2 egg yolks with sugar until smooth, strain through a sieve for a silky mixture then divide into 2 portions.
- Chop chocolate and place in a bowl. Add softened butter and melt using a double boiler, stirring until butter and chocolate are completely melted.
- Add whipping cream to the chocolate butter mixture, continue stirring until the cream is fully incorporated.
- Add the divided egg mixture into the chocolate mixture gradually, stirring until a dark brown mixture (terrine) is formed.
- Pour the terrine into a lined mold then place the mold in a baking tray with a thin towel underneath.
- Fill the tray with boiling water until about half of the mold is submerged, then bake the terrine in a water bath for about 25 minutes at 160°C.
- Once baked, let the mixture cool then refrigerate for 3 – 4 hours until firm.
- When cooled, remove the terrine from the mold, peel off the parchment paper. Use a knife to cut into 4 sides, each about 0.5 – 0.7cm thick.

Step 2: Making the yogurt mousse
- Soak gelatin in about 15ml cold water until softened (about 10 minutes). Then, microwave or melt the soaked gelatin in a double boiler for about 20 seconds until completely dissolved.
- Let the sugar-free yogurt cool to room temperature. Mix the yogurt with sugar until dissolved, then slowly pour in the soaked gelatin, stirring gently with a clean spoon to prevent clumping.
- Pour whipping cream into a bowl and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually pour the yogurt mixture in and gently fold until well combined.
- Pour the yogurt mixture into a mold (note: use a mold of similar size to the terrine mold) until about 2/3 full, then stop.
- Place the yogurt mousse in the refrigerator to set the surface for about 30 minutes. During this time, continuously stir the remaining mousse to prevent it from solidifying.
- Once the mousse in the mold has set, remove it from the refrigerator and spread a thin layer of mousse on top.
- Next, place the terrine pieces on top, pour the remaining mousse and spread evenly to cover the mold and terrine completely.
- Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for about 90 minutes to 2 hours until set.
Step 3: Making the Oreo base
- Keep Oreos whole or crush them finely.
- Evenly mix the cookies with melted butter, then spread onto the set mousse surface. While spreading, gently press with a spoon to ensure the cookies stick firmly.
- Place the cake in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the cake from the mold, wrap a warm cloth around the mold or use a blow dryer for about 10 seconds to release the cake from the mold.
- Invert the mold onto a flat plate to release the cake. Use a sharp knife to cut the cake into bite-sized pieces.
