Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until you achieve fine crumbs, about 30 seconds, and set aside.
  2. Melt dark chocolate with ½ cup of heavy whipping cream in the microwave at 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whip 1 cup of ice-cold heavy whipping cream with cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip another 1 cup of ice-cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  5. Layer the parfaits starting with Oreo crumbs, followed by chocolate mousse, then whipped cream, repeating layers until glasses are filled.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the layers.
