Oreo Chocolate Mousse
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 8 oz high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 3 cups cold heavy cream divided
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chopped Oreo cookies
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat up 3/4 cup of heavy cream in the microwave for about one minute until it’s hot.
- In a heat-safe bowl, place the chocolate chunks and pour the hot heavy cream over them. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the melted chocolate and hot heavy cream until it becomes smooth. If needed, you can microwave it for an additional 15 seconds until it’s fully melted.
- Once the chocolate and heavy cream are well combined, stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Set it aside for approximately 30 minutes to cool.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the remaining heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form, creating your whipped cream.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and heavy cream mixture.
- Carefully fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
- Scoop the mousse into small ramekins and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set. For a softer texture, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with extra whipped cream, Oreo cookies, and chocolate shavings.
