Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, ground
- ½ cup (113 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (113 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 envelopes (20.6 g) instant hot cocoa mix, milk chocolate flavor
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml/12 fl oz) heavy whipping cream
- 2 packages (3.8 oz/107 g each) chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 ¾ cups (660 ml/22 fl oz) milk
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml/10 fl oz) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsps powdered sugar
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Chocolate topping or Nutella for serving
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, then blend thoroughly with melted butter until mixture resembles compacted sand. Press mixture firmly and evenly into a 13 x 9-inch dish, creating a solid foundation.
- Cream Cheese Layer: Whip cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Separately, incorporate instant hot cocoa mix into heavy cream, beating until forming stiff, voluminous peaks.
- Mousse Construction: Delicately fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, maintaining an airy, light texture. Spread this hot chocolate mousse evenly across the chilled Oreo crust.
- Pudding Integration: Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix with milk until thickening, then gently fold in mini marshmallows. Distribute this marshmallow-infused layer smoothly over the mousse.
- Topping Finalization: Whip fresh cream with powdered sugar until forming glossy, rigid peaks. Spread carefully over pudding layer, creating an elegant surface.
- Garnish and Chill: Scatter additional mini marshmallows across the top and artistically drizzle melted chocolate or Nutella. Refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow layers to set and flavors to harmonize.
- Serving Recommendation: Store chilled and consume within a few days to preserve optimal taste and textural integrity.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Completely: Ensure Oreo cookies are ground into ultra-fine crumbs without any large pieces to create a smooth, uniform base that holds together perfectly.
- Chill Between Layers: Refrigerate each layer briefly to help stabilize the structure and prevent mixing, ensuring clean, distinct layer separation.
- Whip Cream Carefully: Whip cream to stiff peaks without overbeating, maintaining a light, airy texture that keeps the dessert’s delicate consistency.
- Store Smartly: Refrigerate immediately after assembling and consume within 3-4 days to preserve the freshest flavor and most appetizing texture.
