# Steps:
01 -
Place whole Oreo cookies with the filling into a food processor and grind until fine crumbs form. Stir in melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish. Chill in the fridge or freezer until firm before adding the next layer.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese together with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with instant milk chocolate powder until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the chocolate whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, then fold in the remaining half, scraping the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated. Spread this mousse evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and refrigerate or freeze to firm up.
03 -
Whisk chocolate instant pudding mix and milk in a bowl until it begins to thicken. Stir in mini marshmallows and spread this pudding mixture evenly over the set cheesecake mousse layer. Refrigerate or freeze again until the pudding layer is set.
04 -
Beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pudding layer. Place the assembled dessert in the fridge for several hours or overnight to allow all layers to fully set.
05 -
Before serving, scatter 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the whipped cream layer. Drizzle with melted chocolate, Nutella, or your favorite chocolate topping. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
