Description

Delight in these irresistible Mini Chocolate Mousse Oreo Cups, featuring a crunchy Oreo crust topped with a silky smooth chocolate mousse. Perfect for parties or a sweet treat, this no-bake dessert combines creamy whipped chocolate mousse with the crunch of Oreo cookies for an indulgent bite-sized delight.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

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

Chocolate 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 bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted unsalted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of small serving cups to create the crust layer.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly to avoid curdling when combined with whipped cream.
  3. Whip the cream: Using a mixer, whip the cold heavy whipping cream along with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This will create a light and airy texture essential for the mousse.
  4. Combine chocolate and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cooled melted chocolate to lighten it. Carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream, ensuring the mousse remains fluffy and smooth without deflating it.
  5. Assemble and chill: Spoon the chocolate mousse over the Oreo crusts in the cups, smoothing the tops evenly. Refrigerate the mousse cups for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld, serving chilled for best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for best volume and texture.
  • Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the whipped cream when folded in.
  • You can garnish with additional crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings before serving for extra presentation appeal.
  • These mini mousse cups are best served within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
