Ingredients

Oreo crust:

90 g oreo cookies (include the cream filling), 9 cookies
35 g butter melted
320 g heavy cream divided

1st layer: white chocolate layer

80 g whole milk
20 g sugar
¼ tsp agar agar powder
65 g white compound chocolate

2nd layer: dark black sesame layer

80 g black sesame paste I used version 1
80 g whole milk
40 g sugar
¼ tsp agar agar powder

3rd layer: light black sesame layer

40 g black sesame paste
40 g plain greek yogurt
80 g whole milk
40 g sugar
¼ tsp agar agar powder

Instructions

Prepare the crust:

I used a small loaf pan that measures 7 x 3.5 x 3 inches. You can use anything similar with different shapes too
Line the pan with parchment paper on the bottom and on all sides for easier removal. If you have an acetate sheet, use that as it gives a cleaner look later
Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse a few times into fine crumbs. You can also put them in a zipper bag, push the air out and seal. It's a bit messier with the zipper bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into really fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse a few times to combine the two until it resembles wet sands. Press this mixture onto the base of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to really pack it in. Let it chill in the fridge to harden

Whip the heavy cream:

Place the chilled heavy cream in a large mixing bowl and whip on low speed until it is just slightly thickened and pourable consistency. Cover and keep it chilled in the fridge while you prepare other things

Prepare the first layer:

Combine milk, sugar, and agar agar in a saucepan. Let it sit for 5 minutes. The agar agar dissolves better. Put the saucepan on the stove and cook over medium heat until the agar agar dissolves. When it comes to a gentle simmer (don't let it boil), let it simmer for 5 minutes to make sure agar agar really dissolves. You shouldn't see any more specks of agar agar
Add the white chocolate and stir until they are melted. Strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth
Give the whipped cream you prepare earlier a quick whisk. Measure out 105 grams (1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp) of the whipped cream you have thickened earlier into the white chocolate mixture. Whisk to combine. Keep the rest of the thickened cream back into the fridge
Pour this into the pan and level the surface with spatula. Keep it chilled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the second layer

Prepare the second layer:

Combine milk, sugar, and agar agar in a saucepan. Let it sit for 5 minutes. The agar agar dissolves better. Put the saucepan on the stove and cook over medium heat until the agar agar dissolves. When it comes to a gentle simmer (don't let it boil), let it simmer for 5 minutes to make sure agar agar really dissolves. Strain the mixture to make sure it is smooth
Stir in the black sesame paste and whisk to combine
Give the whipped cream you prepare earlier a quick whisk. Measure out 105 grams (1/4 cup + 3 Tbsp) of the whipped cream you have thickened earlier into the black sesame mixture. Whisk to combine. Keep the rest of the thickened cream back into the fridge
The white chocolate layer should have somewhat set. Pour this on top of the white chocolate layer and level the surface with spatula. Keep it chilled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the third layer

Prepare the third layer:

Combine milk, sugar, and agar agar in a saucepan. Let it sit for 5 minutes. The agar agar dissolves better. Put the saucepan on the stove and cook over medium heat until the agar agar dissolves. When it comes to a gentle simmer (don't let it boil), let it simmer for 5 minutes to make sure agar agar really dissolves. Strain the mixture to make sure it is smooth
Stir in the black sesame paste and Greek yogurt
Give the whipped cream you prepare earlier a quick whisk. Pour out the rest of the whipped cream you have thickened earlier into the black sesame mixture . Whisk to combine.
The second layer should have somewhat set. Pour this on top of the second layer and level the surface with spatula. Sprinkle with some toasted white sesame seeds.

Refrigerate:

Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight to let it set completely before serving

To serve:

Gently lift the cake out by grabbing on the parchment paper and peel off the parchment paper
Use an offset spatula to smooth all 4 sides. Cut into desired serving size. Decorate with some fresh berries just before serving if you want

Storage:

The cake can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days for the best result
