Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 6 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs or 4 egg yolks (pasteurized recommended)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Mousse

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled

Add-ins

  • 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed or coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the French Silk Chocolate Base: Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler, stirring gently until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually add the eggs or egg yolks, whisking vigorously until the mixture is velvety and rich.
  2. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip to avoid a grainy texture.
  3. Combine Chocolate and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the French silk chocolate base in batches, maintaining as much air as possible to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
  4. Add the Oreo Cookies: Fold the crushed or chopped Oreo cookies into the mousse mixture evenly to incorporate delightful crunchy chunks.
  5. Chill and Set: Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or a large trifle bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the mousse to firm up and flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best depth of flavor.
  • Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
  • Fold the whipped cream gently with a spatula to preserve airiness.
  • Chill the dessert for a minimum of 4 hours; overnight refrigeration provides optimal texture and flavor.
  • Crush Oreos to a mix of fine crumbs and chunks for best texture contrast.
