Preparation
  1. Crush 12-15 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a Ziploc bag and rolling pin or a food processor; set aside 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  2. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
  4. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos into the bottom of 4-6 serving cups, gently pressing to form a base.
  5. Carefully spoon or pipe the chocolate mousse over the Oreo base in each cup, filling them just below the rim.
  6. Cover the cups loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top of each mousse cup; optionally add whipped cream or chocolate shavings.

Notes

For best results, ensure your heavy cream and mixing bowl are very cold before whipping.
