Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Oreos, crushed finely (reserve a few for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among your serving cups, pressing it down gently to create a firm base.
- Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Fold in the melted chocolate gently until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the chocolate mousse over the Oreo base, dividing it evenly among the cups. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream. If you’re using store-bought whipped cream, pipe it on for a decorative touch.
- Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the whipped cream and add a mini Oreo on top for garnish.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 1-2 hours to allow the mousse to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure heavy cream is chilled for best results. Be gentle when folding the melted chocolate into the whipped cream to maintain the mousse’s airy texture. Allow enough time for the mousse cups to chill properly before serving.
