¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (~10–12 cookies)
4–6 whole Oreo cookies, for garnish
Extra crushed Oreo cookies (~2–3 tbsp), for garnish

Directions for Oreo Chocolate Mousse

Let’s whip up this dreamy Oreo Chocolate Mousse!

Melt Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, I melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. I let it cool slightly to avoid deflating the whipped cream.

Whip Cream

In a chilled mixing bowl, I beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. I gradually add ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.

Combine Chocolate and Cream

I gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream until smooth and fully blended, creating the base for Oreo Chocolate Mousse.

Add Oreos

I fold in 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed for a delightful crunch.

Chill

I spoon the mousse into 4–6 serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

Garnish and Serve

Before serving, I top each Oreo Chocolate Mousse with extra crushed Oreos and a whole Oreo cookie for a stunning finish.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate for this mousse?
Yes, you can use other types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate, depending on your preference. I adjust sugar for milk chocolate (less) or dark chocolate (more) to balance sweetness in Oreo Chocolate Mousse.

Can I make this mousse ahead of time?
Absolutely! Oreo Chocolate Mousse can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I garnish with extra Oreos just before serving to keep them crisp.

Can I use reduced-fat or dairy-free alternatives?
I use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free Oreo Chocolate Mousse, noting a slight texture change. Reduced-fat cream works but may yield a less rich result.

How can I adjust the sweetness of the mousse?
I reduce powdered sugar by half for a less sweet Oreo Chocolate Mousse, tasting before adding chocolate. For sweeter mousse, I increase sugar or use milk chocolate.
