Rich, indulgent mini mousse cups with a buttery Oreo crust and three layers of velvety chocolate mousse, perfect for entertaining or treating yourself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs (no filling needed)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter until the crumbs resemble wet sand. Press about 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each cup, pressing firmly. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the mousse.
  2. Gently melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted dark chocolate until smooth. Spoon or pipe onto the Oreo crust layer and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. Melt the milk chocolate and allow it to cool slightly. Whip another cup of cream with powdered sugar, and fold into the milk chocolate. Add this layer on top of the dark chocolate mousse. Chill again for 15 minutes.
  5. Melt the white chocolate, let it cool, and whip the final cup of cream. Fold together and layer on top of the milk chocolate mousse. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  6. Just before serving, top each mousse cup with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

Notes

Chill each mousse layer before adding the next to prevent mixing. Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. These mousse cups can be made a day in advance for convenience.
