Instructions
For the cookie layer:
- Remove the filling from the Oreo cookies and discard. Crush the cookies. (Place them in a resealable plastic bag and hit with a rolling pin or crush them in a mortar with a pestle.)
- Chop the chocolate and mix with the crushed cookies. Set aside.
For the cream layer:
- Whip all ingredients to stiff peaks.
For the chocolate layer:
- Whip mascarpone, heavy cream, cocoa powder and sugar together until you get a firm, mousse-like consistency.
For the assembly:
- Layer (pipe or spoon) the components into individual jars. (Start with a cookie layer, add a chocolate mascarpone layer, then a whipped cream layer. Repeat and end with a cookie layer.)
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 5 hours.*
Notes
- *I don't recommend storing the trifles longer than that because the Oreo cookie crumbs will lose their crunch and begin to turn soggy after 5 to 6 hours.
- Black Forest variation on this recipe: These trifles are great with cherry preserves layered in because the tart fruit cuts through the richness.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of cherry preserves per trifle.
- Place 1 tablespoon each in between the chocolate mascarpone and the cream layers.
