A few weeks ago my mom asked me to make a dessert for a Christmas event. She wanted something in a cup so that it would be easy to serve. Since I had to make 60 desserts, I decided on these Nutella Oreo Mousse Cups because they are very easy but super yummy. They would be perfect if you need to make something for New Years Eve.
These Nutella Oreo Mousse Cups are as easy as 1,2,3! There are only a couple of ingredients and since they are no-bake they are fast to make. What is better and Nutella and Oreos?!?! UMMM NOTHING!
Speaking of New Year’s Eve, I have pinned a bunch of ideas on Pinterest. Take a peek for some inspiration. 🙂

Nutella can be very versatile! It is incredible what you can do with Nutella from cookies, cakes to Nutella Oreo mousse cups, the possibilities are endless! Everyone will love this Nutella creation. Did you know that you could circle the world 1.8 times with the amount of Nutella produced each year?! This amount also weighs the same as the Empire State building. And with all these jars of Nutella being made, you can cover the Great Wall of China 8 times. That’s an insane amount of hazelnut goodness being produced.

How long will it stay good in the fridge? Trying to figure out how far in advance I can make them! Can’t wait to try!
Sorry for the delay. I keep them in the fridge for a day and cover tightly with wrap.
