Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Mousse
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Create the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until well combined. Firmly press the mixture into small serving cups to form an even crust layer.
- Melt the chocolate: Microwave the semi-sweet chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before proceeding.
- Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream together with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Fold chocolate and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled melted chocolate, then carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream to maintain a light and airy mousse texture.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon the prepared mousse evenly over the Oreo crusts in the cups. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the whipped cream is cold for better whipping results.
- Be gentle when folding to keep the mousse fluffy.
- Chill for longer if you prefer a firmer mousse texture.
- Use mini cups or ramekins for individual servings.
- Optionally garnish with extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings before serving.
