Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 36 Oreo cookies, ground
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Hot Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Layer

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 (0.73 oz) envelopes instant hot cocoa mix (milk chocolate flavor)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Pudding Layer

  • 2 (3.8 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 ¾ cups milk
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream (or 2 ½ cups whipped cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows (for garnish)

Additional

  • Chocolate topping or Nutella for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place whole Oreo cookies with the filling in a food processor and grind into fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish. Chill in the fridge or freezer to firm up while preparing the next layer.
  2. Make the hot chocolate cheesecake mousse: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together with vanilla and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with the instant milk chocolate powder until stiff peaks form. Gently fold half of this chocolate whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, then fold in the remaining half, ensuring the mixture is well incorporated. Spread this mousse evenly over the prepared Oreo crust. Chill again to set.
  3. Prepare the pudding layer: In a bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until the mixture starts to thicken. Stir in 1 cup of mini marshmallows, then spread this pudding layer carefully over the set hot chocolate mousse layer. Refrigerate or freeze to allow it to set completely.
  4. Make the whipped cream topping: Beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly on top of the pudding layer. Place the entire dish in the fridge and chill for several hours or preferably overnight to allow all layers to set firmly.
  5. Add finishing touches and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the whipped cream layer. Drizzle with melted chocolate, Nutella, or chocolate topping for an extra indulgent flavor. Serve chilled.
  6. Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust and layers, chilling the dessert overnight is recommended.
  • Use full-fat dairy products for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • To speed up setting times, place the dessert in the freezer for short intervals, but do not freeze solid.
  • Substitute Nutella with any chocolate hazelnut spread or chocolate syrup as desired.
  • Ensure the heavy cream used for whipping is cold for better volume and stiffness.
