Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

  • 8 oz. milk or semi-sweet melting chocolate
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (divided into 4 tablespoons and remainder)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 4 oz. cream cheese (softened)

Whipped Topping

  • 8 oz. whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)

Assembly

  • 24 crushed Oreos

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 oz. of milk or semi-sweet melting chocolate with 4 tablespoons of whole milk, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once smooth, remove from heat and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then stir in the remaining milk. Place the chocolate mixture in the refrigerator to chill until it is cool to the touch and has thickened slightly.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: While the chocolate mixture chills, combine 4 oz. of softened cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream Cheese: Pour the cooled, thickened chocolate mixture into the cream cheese mixture and blend thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold 8 oz. of whipped topping into the chocolate and cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to combine until the mixture is smooth and creamy without deflating the whipped topping.
  5. Assemble the Mousse Cups: In small dessert cups or a large trifle bowl, layer crushed Oreos, followed by the chocolate filling, and topped with whipped topping. Repeat the layering if desired, finishing with crushed Oreos on top for garnish.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately for optimal texture and freshness, or refrigerate the assembled cups for up to 24 hours. For best results, assemble just before serving to maintain the mousse’s light texture.

Notes

  • This recipe requires no baking and primarily uses chilling to set the mousse.
  • Use good quality melting chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Softened cream cheese ensures smoother mixing and a creamier mousse.
  • Whipped topping like Cool Whip helps achieve a light and airy texture.
  • This dessert is best served chilled, and can be assembled ahead of time for convenience.
