For the mousse:

2 tbsp cocoa powder

2 tbsp sugar (optional, depending on sweetness)

Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the base

Crush Oreos finely and mix with melted butter.

Press a thin layer into the bottom of each dessert glass.

Step 2 – Make the mousse

Melt chocolate over a double boiler or microwave in short intervals. Let it cool slightly.

Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.

In another bowl, beat egg whites until stiff (optional step for lighter mousse).

Fold cocoa powder and melted chocolate into the whipped cream, then gently fold in egg whites if using.

Spoon mousse into glasses over the Oreo base. Chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 3 – Garnish & serve

Pipe whipped cream on top of each mousse cup.

Add half an Oreo cookie on the side.

Drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Garnish with mint leaves and a sprinkle of Oreo crumbs.

Serving suggestion 

Serve chilled with a dessert spoon.

Pair with espresso or red wine for a decadent treat.

Can be made ahead of time (up to 2 days in the fridge).

 Tip: For extra flavor, add a splash of coffee or Baileys to the mousse mixture.
