Cookies
- 16 Oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies (plus more for cookie crumbs for sprinkling on top)
Cream Mixture
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Prepare Cookies: Remove the cream filling from the 16 chocolate sandwich cookies and place it in a small bowl. Crush the cookie parts finely using a rolling pin or food processor and set aside, reserving some crumbs for topping.
- Heat Cream Filling: Microwave the reserved cookie cream filling for 2 minutes until warm.
- Whip Heavy Cream: Using a mixer, whip the 3 cups of heavy whipping cream until it becomes frothy and begins to form soft peaks.
- Add Cream and Sugar: Incorporate the warmed cookie cream filling and 1 cup of powdered sugar into the whipped cream, and beat until stiff peaks form for a thick, stable mousse texture.
- Fold in Cookie Crumbs: Gently fold in the crushed cookie crumbs into the whipped cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Save some crumbs for garnish.
- Pipe Mousse: Spoon the mousse into a piping bag or a plastic bag fitted with a piping tip, then pipe into serving dishes or glasses for an elegant presentation.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs over the top and optionally place a whole Oreo cookie on each serving for decoration.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the mousse immediately or refrigerate it until ready to serve for best texture and freshness.
Notes
- For best results, chill the heavy cream before whipping to help it whip faster and hold shape better.
- You can substitute Oreos with any similar chocolate sandwich cookies depending on preference.
- Microwaving the cream filling slightly helps it to blend smoothly into the mousse.
- Be gentle when folding cookie crumbs to keep the mousse airy and light.
- This mousse can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours but is best served fresh.
