Chocolate Oreo Icebox Cake

This is four ingredients and 15 minutes of work, and it tastes like a chocolate mousse cake from a nice restaurant. The Oreos soften into cake-like layers as it sits in the fridge. Kids go absolutely wild for it, and it can be made two days ahead, which is basically a superpower.
