Chocolate Mousse & Oreo Cheesecake Parfait (Halloween Graveyard Pudding)

This one is for all the chocolate-lovers out there. It's my new fave! The combo of chocolate mousse and Oreo cheesecake is just to die for (get it? coz it's a graveyard! LOL)

I made them in standard dessert bowls and they were waaaay too big. It was too sweet to finish, but I don't have the perfect size glass/mini bowl so I had to settle. 

You can easily make this in one large bowl for larger crowds.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 boxes of Oreos
• 1 tub smooth cottage cheese
• 1 tin condensed milk
• 250ml fresh cream
• 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
• 2 boxes of Woolworth's chocolate mousse powder
• 1.5 cups milk

METHOD:

Base

1. Crush 10 Oreos (I use a rolling pin to smash them into fine pieces) and divide it between your bowls, making sure you leave some left overs for garnishing at the end.

Cheesecake

1. First prep your ingredients: whip the fresh cream, and crush 1 packet of Oreos into fine pieces.
2. Mix together: cottage cheese, condensed milk and vanilla essence. 
3. Fold the whipped cream and crushed Oreos.
4. Then put it in the freezer for 1 hour to half-set.

Mousse

1. Put the mousse powder in a mixing bowl. 
2. Slowly add the milk and start mixing (with an electric mixer) at the same time. 
3. As you beat it, it gets thicker. Beat it for 5 minutes. 
4. Put it in the fridge while you're waiting for the cheesecake to half set.

Assemble

1. Put the Oreo crumbs in as the base.
2. Top with half the chocolate mousse and half the Oreo cheesecake, and then repeat.
3. To garnish, sprinkle crushed Oreos and crushed Whispers (as sand). Split the remaining Oreos and cut them the resemble the shape of a tombstone. Use a food marker to write on the tombstones (I use Nicoletta). Place the tombstones on top of the dessert.
