Ingredients
  

For the Mousse Layer:

  • 300 g cream cheese plain, at room temperature
  • 40 g fine sugar
  • 200 g heavy cream animal-based, 30-35% fat, chilled
  • 60 g hot whole milk heated to 60-70°C
  • 12 g gelatin sheets food-grade
  • 40 g crushed Oreo cookies filling removed

For the Chocolate Layer:

  • 180 g dark or milk chocolate chopped
  • 130 g heavy cream animal-based

For Garnish:

  • 6-8 whole Oreo cookies
  • 20 g additional crushed Oreo cookies
  • A few fresh mint leaves optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep Work

  • Soften 300g cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Soak 12g gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, squeeze dry.
  • Crush 40g Oreo cookies (remove cream filling) into coarse crumbs.
  • Prepare silicone molds or paper cups for filling.

Step 2: Make the Mousse Layer

  • Mix softened cream cheese with 40g sugar until smooth.
  • Gently fold in 200g chilled heavy cream until fully combined and creamy.
  • Stir softened gelatin into 60g hot milk until dissolved. Let cool slightly to about 50℃.
  • Slowly pour the gelatin-milk mixture into the cream cheese base, folding until smooth.
  • Fold in 40g Oreo crumbs until evenly distributed.
  • Pipe or spoon into molds/cups (about 90% full). Tap to release bubbles. Freeze 1.5–2 hours until firm.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Layer

  • Heat 180g chopped chocolate with 130g heavy cream until melted and smooth.
  • Let cool at room temperature.

Step 4: Assemble & Chill

  • Remove mousse from molds (dip mold bottom in warm water for 2 seconds if needed) and place in plates.
  • Chill in fridge 2 hours to soften slightly for best texture.
  • Pour cooled chocolate mixture on top of mousse.
  • Decorate with Oreo crumbs, a whole Oreo, and mint leaves if desired.
