Since I was slack and missed the deadline last week, I'm posting two recipes this week. Let me know how they turn out for you.

Oreo White Chocolate Mousse "Cheesecake"

Ingredients
-------------
24 Oreo cookies
1/4 cup Unsalted butter

3 cup Whipping cream
1 Tbsp Unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup Whipping cream
1/4 cup Water
8 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
1 tsp Vanilla
1 lb White chocolate

Crust
------
1) Grind up oreos and mix with melted butter. Press into bottom of 10 inch
springform pan.

2) Melt semi-sweet chocolate and 3/4 cup cream in double boiler. Pour over
oreo cookie crust. Chill until firm.

Filling
-------
3) Melt white chocolate and 1 cup cream in a double boiler. Cool to
lukewarm.

4) Add gelatin to water, heat and stir until dissolved. Pour into bowl.
Add 2 cups chilled cream and vanilla to gelatin/water mixture. Beat to soft
peaks. Fold into white chocolate mixture. Pour filling into crust. Chill
until firm. Serve.

Note: If you overwhip the cream, the mousse will become visibly grainy in appearance. It'll still taste great, but it won't be as pretty.
