Instructions
Place 12 Oreos (with filling) in a bowl or food processor and crush finely. Pour in 2 Tbsp melted butter and mix with a fork or pulse in the processor until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
Divide the Oreo crumb mixture evenly among 5–6 serving cups. Press the crumbs into an even layer to form the crust. Refrigerate the cups while you make the mousse.
In a clean mixing bowl, pour 1 1/3 cups heavy cream. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form.
Add 3 Tbsp granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder to the whipped cream. Continue beating until the cream holds stiff peaks. Set this chocolate whipped cream aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, place 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1 Tbsp granulated sugar. Using the electric mixer, beat until the cream cheese is very smooth and fluffy with no lumps.
Add 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp Nutella and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until the Nutella and vanilla are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gently fold half of the chocolate whipped cream (from step 4) into the Nutella–cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining half of the whipped cream just until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Transfer the mousse to a large piping bag or use a spoon. Pipe or spoon the mousse evenly over the Oreo crust in each chilled cup.
Cover or loosely wrap the cups and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 12 hours) to set.
Just before serving, make the topping: pour 2/3 cup heavy cream into a clean mixing bowl. Beat with the electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar to the cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Transfer the whipped topping to a piping bag (or spoon) and pipe or dollop it onto each chilled mousse.
If desired, garnish each cup with toasted chopped hazelnuts and/or chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Serve chilled.
Notes
Makes 5–6 individual servings.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours to allow mousse to set.
Optional: garnish with toasted chopped hazelnuts and/or chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
