INGREDIENTS
Cortex
- 16 original Oreos or Oreo style cookies
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Stuffed
- 20 g Culto cocoa powder
- 1 ¾ cups 80% Cult chocolate
- Chocolate triangles 80% Cult
- 1 ½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 400 g whipping cream
- 1 ¼ cups vegan Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Coverage
- orange slices
PROCEDURE:
- Line the bottom and sides of a removable bottom cake pan with some parchment paper.
- Add the freshly squeezed orange juice to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue to simmer for about 10-20 minutes until the mixture has reduced to 120ml.
- Once reduced, add the sugar, whisk and cook for another minute until dissolved. Bring the orange reduction to room temperature.
- Add the crackers and salt to your food processor and blend for about 30 seconds until finely ground. Add the vegan butter and mix again until evenly combined and the mixture sticks between your fingers.
- Press the biscuit mixture into the base of the cake tin and smooth it out with the back of a spoon, making sure it is compact. Reserve in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler with a tablespoon of coconut oil, stir until smooth and let sit for 15-20 minutes to cool.
- Add the whipping cream and yogurt to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add and beat the cocoa powder and orange zest until combined.
- Finally, alternate between adding the melted chocolate and orange reduction in 3 increments each, beating each time to incorporate them into the whipping cream mixture. (one part orange and whisk, one part chocolate whisk, etc.)
- Transfer the filling to the cake pan with a spatula to smooth it out. Place in the refrigerator to set for 4 hours (or overnight if you prefer). Once set, remove the cake from the mold.
- Decorate with orange and chocolate slices. Enjoy!
