4.9 from 69 reviews

A creamy and indulgent Oreo Mousse that layers rich vanilla pudding with whipped topping and chopped gluten-free Oreos for a delightful no-bake dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Pudding

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 11/4 cups milk (unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 3 Tablespoons butter or vegan butter
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Mousse

  • 9 oz tub whipped topping (SoDelicious Cocowhip recommended)
  • 26 gluten free Oreos (roughly chopped or crushed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add 1/4 cup of milk and whisk until smooth. Add egg yolks and whisk again. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of milk and combine well.
  2. Cook the pudding: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and begins to barely bubble, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low, switch to a spatula, and stir for 2 more minutes until very thick.
  3. Finish and strain the pudding: Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla until melted and incorporated. Pour the pudding through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any cooked egg bits.
  4. Chill the pudding: Cover the pudding surface with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation and refrigerate until completely chilled. This can be done several days ahead.
  5. Make the mousse: Gently fold the whipped topping into the chilled pudding until combined, then fold in the crushed Oreos.
  6. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled mousse for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free Oreos if you require a gluten-free dessert.
  • Substitute butter with vegan butter and use dairy-free milk and whipped topping for a vegan version.
  • Cover pudding with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent skin formation.
  • Allow enough chilling time for best texture and flavor melding.
