Place chocolate in a bowl and pour hot cream on top. - Let it sit for 1 minute, then stir with a rubber spatula. Stir continuously, until mixture gets smooth. Let it cool a little, before you use it, it still needs to be thin, so it drips down the cake.

WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT THIS THREE CHOCOLATE NO BAKE CAKE IS:
The layers are perfect
It is no-bake
It requires minimal effort, you just heat the milk and cream and melt the chocolate, add gelatin and wait for each layer to set
It is gorgeous, festive, perfect for celebration
The fact that there are no cake layers, made with flour (excluding the Oreo layer), reduces the guilt when I have more then one slice at a time
Here is a look on the inside.
I suggest that you use white, milk and dark chocolate from the same brand.
And either use chocolate bars or chocolate chips.
I used Ghirardelli chocolate chips in this No-Bake Three Chocolate Cake Recipe.
Hope you like it!
