Place 16 Oreo cookies into a ziplock bag. Crush the cookies into cookie crumbs.

Step 1:  

Heat the heavy cream and chocolate together until melted. Stir until smooth and well combined. 

Step 2:  

Whisk 2 cups heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. 

Step 3:  

Scoop out ½ of the whipped cream and set aside. This is the whipped cream layer.

Step 4:  

With the mixer on low, add in the cooled chocolate ganache and cocoa powder until all the ingredients have been added. Mix on low until the mixture is glossy and fully combined. This is the chocolate mousse layer.

Step 5:  

Grab some glasses or cups to assemble the dessert. Add 1 tablespoon crushed oreo cookies to the bottom of the cups. On top of the oreos add 1 - 2 tablespoons chocolate mousse, followed by 1 - 2 tablespoons whipped cream. Repeat 1 - 2 more times, ending with Oreos as the top and final layer.

Step 6:  

Transfer the dessert parfait cups to the fridge to set for 3 - 4 hours and up to overnight. Loosely cover the top of each of the cups with plastic wrap, especially if the parfaits are going to set overnight.
