Equipment
Ingredients
For the Creme Anglaise:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 Teaspoon white sugar
- 2½ Ounces heavy cream
For the Nutella Mousse:
- 5½ Ounces Nutella
- 6 Ounces heavy cream
For the Cookie Base:
- 1 Package Oreo cookies
- 1 Tablespoon butter
Instructions
Make the Creme Anglaise:
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolk and sugar together.
- Heat the cream in a saucepan until it boils.
- Pour the hot cream over the egg mixture while whisking continuously.
- Strain the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat until it reaches 180°F.
- Don’t let it boil. If you don't have a thermometer, cook until it forms a thin white foam or coats the back of a spoon.
Make the Nutella Mousse:
- Pour the warm creme anglaise over the Nutella.
- Mix with a whisk.
- Let it cool to room temperature.
- Place the mixture in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Fold a bit of the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture, then fold in the rest.
For the Crust:
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs with a food processor.
- Melt the butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of cups or glasses to form the crust.
- Divide the mousse between 4 serving glasses.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Garnish and Serve:
- Whip the cream and use it to top the mousse and top with chopped hazelnuts and/or strawberries.
Notes
Prevent curdling: Whisk continuously when combining hot cream with the egg mixture to keep the creme anglaise smooth and silky.
Make ahead: Prepare the mousse up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate it until ready to serve. Such a timesaver!
Measure accurately: Use a scale and liquid measuring cup and spoon set to get perfect results.
Get creative with decorations: Top your mousse cups with your favorite toppings; think chocolate shavings, fruit or sprinkles, for a personal touch.
Gently fold ingredients together: A light hand will give you a light mousse.
Try different cookie bases: Switch up the flavor by using graham crackers, digestive biscuits or even ginger snaps instead of Oreos.
Adjust sweetness to taste: Modify the sweetness by adding more or less Nutella to suit your preference - it's all about balance!
Use pretty serving cups and glasses: This really adds to the look and feel of your delicious dessert.
