  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mousse

  • 200g high-quality bittersweet dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa content)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3 large fresh pasteurized eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oreo Cookies

  • 15–20 Oreo cookies, slightly crushed

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Butter – Gently melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and fully combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Whip the Eggs and Sugar – Using an electric mixer, beat the pasteurized eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and fluffy. This is essential for a classic silky mousse texture.
  3. Step 3: Combine Chocolate with Egg Mixture – Slowly fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar, mixing gently to preserve the airy consistency.
  4. Step 4: Whip the Cream – In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, creating a light and airy texture for the mousse.
  5. Step 5: Fold in the Whipped Cream and Vanilla – Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, taking care not to deflate the mousse.
  6. Step 6: Assemble with Oreo Cookies – Slightly crush the Oreo cookies and layer them at the bottom of serving glasses or a large dish. Pour a layer of chocolate mousse on top, repeat layers, finishing with a mousse layer.
  7. Step 7: Chill Before Serving – Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the mousse to set perfectly and flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Choose quality chocolate (60-70% cocoa) for deep flavor.
  • Use room temperature pasteurized eggs for fluffier mousse.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain airy texture.
  • Chill mousse thoroughly for best consistency.
  • Crush Oreos moderately, retaining some chunks for texture.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Freeze in sealed containers up to one month; thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Serve mousse cold; if softened, let sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before serving.
