Description

These Mini Chocolate Mousse Oreo Cups are a delightful no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo cookie crust topped with a rich, creamy chocolate mousse. Perfect for parties or a sweet treat, these individual portions combine the classic flavors of chocolate and Oreo in a light, airy mousse that sets beautifully in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 20 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the 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

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of small serving cups to form the crust layer.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in short bursts of 15-20 seconds, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly to avoid melting the whipped cream in the next step.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream along with granulated sugar and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. The cream should be light and fluffy.
  4. Combine chocolate and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled melted chocolate to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated to create a smooth mousse.
  5. Assemble and chill: Spoon the chocolate mousse evenly over the Oreo crusts in the cups. Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is cold for easier whipping.
  • Do not overwhip the cream; stop at soft peaks to maintain a smooth mousse texture.
  • Cooling the melted chocolate before folding prevents it from seizing or melting the cream.
  • Use small dessert cups or ramekins for perfect individual servings.
  • These can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge.
