Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 package Oreo Cookies (standard, crushed)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Mousse
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
Topping
- Additional crushed Oreo pieces (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed Oreos and melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Form the crust: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the freezer to chill while preparing the mousse filling.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly but do not let it harden.
- Whip the cream: Using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer or electric mixer, whip the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. For best results, chill the mixing bowl beforehand.
- Combine chocolate and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the slightly cooled melted chocolate until fully incorporated, creating a smooth chocolate mousse layer.
- Assemble the mousse layer: Pour and spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the chilled Oreo crust in the springform pan, smoothing it out to the edges.
- Add the remaining whipped cream: Spread the remaining whipped cream uniformly over the chocolate mousse layer to create a contrasting, fluffy topping.
- Garnish and chill: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo pieces on top for decoration. Cover the cake loosely and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours to set before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the mixing bowl before whipping cream helps achieve stiffer peaks.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cake.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
- Double stuffed Oreos may make the crust too moist; standard Oreos are preferred.
- For a firmer mousse, you can chill the chocolate mixture before folding in the cream.
