Instructions
Step 1
First, chop the *dark chocolate* into small pieces. In a saucepan, heat the *passion fruit puree* over medium heat until it simmers. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Stir until smooth.
In another pot, bring the *heavy cream* and *sugar* to a boil. Combine it with the chocolate mixture and mix well. Let it cool to room temperature before using.
Step 2
Start by washing and chopping the *fresh strawberries* into small pieces. Crush the *Oreo cookies* into fine crumbs using a food processor.
In a mixing bowl, beat the *cream cheese* and *powdered sugar* until smooth. Fold in the strawberries and Oreo crumbs until well mixed.
Step 3
Chop the *dark chocolate* into small pieces. In a saucepan, heat the *heavy cream* until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute before stirring until *smooth* and *glossy*. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
Step 4
Begin by spreading a layer of *Chocolate Passion Fruit Filling* on the bottom cake layer. Place another cake layer on top and spread the *Strawberry Oreo Filling* evenly over it. Repeat until all cake layers and fillings are used.
Step 5
Coat the entire cake with the prepared *ganache*, smoothing it out with a spatula. For a spooky touch, use *chocolate hand and spider decorations*. Allow the ganache to set before serving.

Variations
For those adhering to a gluten-free diet, substitute the regular flour with a 1:1 ratio of gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that all other ingredients like cocoa powder and baking powder are certified gluten-free as well. π₯³
If youβre looking for a vegan version, swap out dairy butter for a plant-based alternative and use flax eggs instead of regular eggs (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons of water per egg). Opt for vegan chocolates and make sure the Oreo cookies are the vegan variety. π±
