Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Mousse

  • 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 7 Oreos, broken into pieces

Topping

  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Crushed Oreos for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Mousse: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and instant vanilla pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to whip these ingredients together until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy mousse base.
  2. Incorporate Oreos: Gently fold the broken Oreo pieces into the whipped mousse, being careful to keep the mixture airy while evenly distributing the cookies.
  3. Layer the Parfaits: In serving glasses or parfait cups, spoon in layers of the Oreo mousse mixture. Alternate layers to create a visually appealing dessert.
  4. Add Toppings: Top each parfait with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed Oreos as garnish for extra texture and flavor.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold heavy whipping cream straight from the refrigerator.
  • You can substitute the instant vanilla pudding mix with homemade pudding if preferred.
  • If desired, add a layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom of the parfait glass for extra crunch.
  • This dessert is best consumed within 24 hours to maintain freshness and mousse texture.
  • For a lighter version, use reduced-fat whipping cream, though texture may slightly vary.
