Ingredients

8 Oreo cookies
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
5 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons (4 ounces) Nutella
3 ounces semisweet chocolate

4 teaspoons granulated sugar
5 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
5 teaspoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Whipped cream
Crushed toasted hazelnuts
Crushed Oreos

Directions

1

In a food processor, pulse Oreos until finely ground. Add melted butter and pulse for another few seconds until evenly coated. Alternatively, put the cookies in a zipper-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin before adding the melted butter. Spoon Oreo mixture into 4 to 6 serving glasses in an even layer. Set aside.
2

In a small bowl, whip cream with sugar until it holds soft peaks. Set aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl and using an electric hand mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add Nutella and whip until smooth, about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold in whipped cream until no streaks remain.
3

Melt chocolate in the bowl of a double boiler or in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
4

In a small bowl, whip cream with sugar until it holds soft peaks. Set aside. In a medium-sized mixing bowl and using an electric hand mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add cooled chocolate and cocoa powder and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in two thirds of the whipped cream. If the mixture looks lumpy after 3 minutes of mixing, pass through a fine-meshed sieve. Fold in the remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
5

Spoon or pipe filling into serving cups, starting with layers of Chocolate Filling followed by Nutella Filling. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Garnish with whipped cream, crushed Oreo's or toasted hazelnuts before serving.
