You can also put the cookies in a heavy plastic food bag and crush with a rolling pin, then mix with cream in a bowl. Press mixture over bottom of springform pan. Beat remaining cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Add about 1/2 cup whipped cream to the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until blended. With a rubber spatula, fold chocolate mixture into remaining cream until no white streaks remain. Pour about 1 cup chocolate mousse over cookie layer in pan. Arrange 9 cookies on to. Repeat layers twice, thn spread remaining mousse over top. Cover pan and refrigerate at least 12 hours until cookies soften and cake is firm enough to slice. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
