    1

    Crush the cookies into fine crumbs, then mix with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    2

    Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or using the microwave, and let it cool slightly.

    3

    Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and dissolve the gelatin in the warmed orange juice. Allow to cool slightly.

    4

    Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and orange zest, continuing to whip until just combined.

    5

    Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture, then carefully fold in the gelatin-orange juice mixture.

    6

    Pour the chocolate-orange mousse over the prepared cookie crust, and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set.

    7

    Before serving, garnish the cake with milk chocolate shavings and additional orange zest.
