  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for vegan option)
  • ΒΌ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed Oreos (for the mud layer)
  • 1 tbsp melted dark chocolate (plus extra for drizzle)
  • Edible green spray paint or matcha-infused whipped cream (for moss effect)
  • Small edible flowers or candied violet petals for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whip chilled heavy cream with sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  2. Fold in Β½ cup crushed Oreos for extra texture.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir melted dark chocolate into the remaining Β½ cup crushed Oreos to create β€˜swamp mud’.
  4. Assemble parfait in clear glasses or mason jars: layer 2 tbsp mud, then 3 tbsp chocolate mousse, repeat, finishing with a swirl of mousse on top.
  5. Use a pastry brush to lightly dab edible green mist or pipe matcha-tinted whipped cream along the inside rim for mossy effect.
  6. Drizzle with extra melted dark chocolate and garnish with candied violets.
  7. Chill 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For vegan version, use coconut cream, dairy-free chocolate, and ensure Oreo version is certified vegan (checklabel).
  • Edible moss can be replaced with crushed pistachios or matcha powder for visual effect.
  • For a stronger swamp vibe, add a drop of green food coloring to the chocolate mousse.
