Come to mama, little chocolate sandwich cookie
Let me crumble you into my glass
I’ll spoon some silky, chocolate pudding over you
And after, a smooth cloud of creamy, chocolate fluffiness
I’ll then sprinkle in a bit more of you, little chocolate sandwich cookie
And layer more velvety goodness over top
Until my entire glass has been filled to the brim
With dark chocolate richness, and your sweet, crumbled cookie-ness
Taste what’s good and pass it on.

(Makes about 6 servings in 6 ounce glasses, or 4 servings in 10 ounce glasses)
Ingredients:
16 fl oz whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (16 ounce) tubs all natural Belgian chocolate pudding*, divided use
24 all natural chocolate-vanilla sandwich cookies*, crushed into chunky consistency
1 (1ounce) square semi-sweet chocolate, to shave for garnish
Preparation:
-In the bowl of a mixer (or using a hand-held), add the cold cream and begin whipping; once thickened slightly, sprinkle in the sugar and finish whipping just until stiff peaks form; set aside for a moment.
-In medium-large bowl, add 2 cups of the chocolate pudding (reserving the remaining pudding) and begin adding the whipped cream to it in several increments, gently folding in to keep a fluffy and light consistency, as this is the “chocolate mousse” part of the dessert; once all whipped cream is incorporated, set aside and prepare glasses.
To Assemble (for 6 servings in 6 ounce glasses):
-Begin by adding equal amounts of the crushed cookies to the bottom of each glass (about 3 tablespoons), next a layer of chocolate pudding (about 3 tablespoons), and next a layer of the “chocolate mousse” (about 3 tablespoons); repeat this process again for each glass, with another layering of crushed cookies, then the pudding, then the “chocolate mousse”, finally finishing with a final sprinkling of crushed cookies and a decorative dollop of “chocolate mousse”; garnish by shaving a little of the semi-sweet chocolate square with a vegetable peeler over the tops of each glass; refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
To Assemble (for 4 servings in 10 ounce glasses):
-Follow assembly instructions above only increase the quantity of each layer to about 5 tablespoons in order to fill each glass.

Oh dear, what a heavenly dessert!
Wow, that looks crazy good. I am going to feature it on my new Mouth Watering Mondays post. Come on over next Monday to check it out.
I’m the momma!!! Oh yes….come to me! What a luscious chocolate dessert!
finally! a dream come true ;D
Oh my. Ohhhhhh my. Sweet baby Jesus. I’m at a loss for words, except, “gimme!”
I am not big into sweets but would enjoy this. Layers of goodness. It would induce a pleasurable sugar coma.
Be well
Do you suppose you could make this in a trifle bowl? How would the mousse layer stand up?
Hi A.B., thanks for your question, as it’s a really good one. As gorgeous as this recipe would look in a trifle bowl, you most likely wouldn’t get your desired results come plating time. This recipe is specifically made for individual serving glasses where its layers are contained, and most likely wouldn’t hold its shape very well on a plate.
I think this would do fine in a Trifle bowl. I make many different kinds of trifles and they all look lovely till the 1st serving! Nobody cares after that they just want it on their dish!
Funny and true!
Oh my!! This looks killer!
Can you use a different type of pudding, like something more common? (Jello brand, etc.)
Hi Theresa, yes, feel free to use your preferred brand of chocolate pudding.
Too bad that’s not translated in french
I don’t get all the steps and it looks soooooooo delicious :p
Salut Line! Je parle francais un petit peu.. mais voici (je pense) le recu en francais:
16 once fouetté cream, le froid
2 cuillères à soupe du sucre
2 (16 once) les paquets pudding du chocolat (Jello, etc.) {l’usage divisé}
24 tous les petits gâteaux de sandwich de chocolat-extrait de vanille naturels* (comme des Oreos)
écrasé dans l’homogénéité grosse
1 (1 once) piece du chocolat à demi doux, se raser pour la garniture
Préparation :
-Dans le bol d’un mélangeur (ou utilisant un à main) ajoute la crème froide et commence fouetter ; a épaissi une fois légèrement, asperger dans le sucre et la fin qui fouette juste jusqu’à ce que les sommets raides forment ; mettre de côté pour un moment.
-Dans le moyen-grand bol, ajouter 2 tasses du pudding de chocolat (réservant le pudding restant) et commence à ajouter la crème fouettée à lui dans plusieurs augmentations, pliant doucement dans garder une homogénéité duveteuse et légère, comme ceci est le « la mousse de chocolat » la partie du dessert ; une fois toute la crème fouettée est incorporée, met de côté et préparer des verres.
J’espere toutes des directions sont “ok”
Oh merci beaucoup pour cette aide précieuse !!
Hi!
Could you please translate the recepy into portuguese? My english is not very good and I realy want do try this… :/
If you don’t mind, you could send it to my e-mail, please.
Tasted great, but presentation wise, what do you suggest to get the mixture and pudding in the cups? My layers were kind of blotched on the side of the interior of the cups. Thanks!
Thanks for coming by to comment and ask a really great question. Yes, it can be a little tricky getting the layers into the cup/glass; to be honest, mine are never really “prefect”, and a good thing about parfait desserts is that they’re pretty forgiving when it comes to presentation, because it’s all about the delicious layers, even if a bit messy. I try to just have as steady of a hand as possible, and drop smaller spoonfuls of each layer’s quantity aiming towards the center of the glass, then I can carefully spread it out gently. If the sides get a little messed up, I carefully try to wipe them a bit with a clean paper towel, but I don’t go too crazy with it. Hope that helps!
Perhaps use a frosting bag to pipe it in.
Natalie, brilliant.
Hello,
I was just reading your comment and here is a way to be able to make this look incredible. Take a gallon size ziplock bag or whatever storage bag you use. put the mousse in a bag and do the same with the pudding in a seperate bag. Now on a corner of the bottom of the bag cut a corner out just big enough that you are able to fit into the dessert cup that you can squeeze the bag and the stuff comes out. Squeeze the pudding in the cup in the amount you think is right. Then do the same with the mousse. keep doing that with the layers in the cups. It will make it less of a mess and more presentable for showing off! Hope this tip helps
I am a HUGE cookies and cream fan, so needless to say, you have me drooling looking at your pictures. VERY jealous! You are my idol.
Now this is a show stopping dessert! And so simple too. Thanks for sharing!
Come to mama is right. I found this pic on pinterest, but no recipe. I have been searching for 30 minutes,
. Cant wait to make it. I am a chocolate freak. I usually dont write many chocolate recipes, because I would eat them before I would get to take a picture. Thank you for this one. Keep up the good work. Love your site. Lisa Montalva aka The Gourmet Mom

Going to buy the stuff now to try it! I’ll let you know how it goes!!
Mine turned out perfect! Yumm!!
Yeay, Jaree! Thanks for coming back to let me know how it turned out for you.
I just bought the ingredients and ate so many
cookies i have to buy another bag to make the dessert!
I’m making them for a bake and plan to use the
“Crystal cut” plastic cups.
Thanks for this great and easy recipe!
Your comment made me laugh, Jill! And if you think the cookies alone are hard to stop eating, just wait until you taste the actual finished dessert; let me just say you’d better plan on making extra.
Would this recipe work if you made it a day ahead? Looks fabulously delicious!
Hi Bev, a day ahead would be just fine – if you leave some room at the top of your glass, you could even put a little plastic wrap over just to keep any fridge smells from infiltrating.
i just tried it today…..GONE IN SECONDS. WE REALLY LOVED IT THANK YOU <3
My pleasure, Shireen!
me and my mom r going to make this tonight i looks so good and hope it tastes good too!!!
This looks so yummy.
All I can say is WOW! This looks incredible!!!! Beautiful photography as well
Thanks, Kristi.
This is really yummy and fun to make. I would suggest only using th pudding from trader Joe’s that the recipe suggests. It has a firmer consistency and is really rich. Serve in small portions or it is just too rich. Yum!
Hi I found this pic on Facebook and found the recipe here. Problem is I am from Australia and we don’t have the same brands as you in everything. Would any chocolate pudding mix work or should I look for a certain ingredient in the mix pack?
Hi Nicole, I would say that any chocolate pudding mix would work once prepared, but if you can find an already prepared chocolate pudding that is nice and creamy(perhaps in the refrigerated section of your grocery store), then that’d be ideal. Basically, you want a rich, creamy and deep chocolatey pudding; one that you’d enjoy eating would be just perfect!
Hi Nicole,
I’m also from Australia and I have used the packet mousse from woolies (the one you add milk too and set in fridge) It works perfect!

Do you have any idea of the calories, or shouldn’t we ask?
Hi Sandi! I love your question – and can I be honest with you? I really don’t know how many calories there are in this dessert; I personally just like to pretend calories don’t exist for this one.
So glad to actually find this recipe. My 9 year old found it on Pinterest but never got to the actual recipe through there. As part of homeschooling science (with math) he is given directions to pick a recipe, check for ingredients, make a list of what is missing estimating the cost of each item, go shopping (with Mom of course) for the items using his estimated budget, then come home and make it (on his own – within safety limits). So far his chocolate chip cookies came out great, but this will be far better! And what he really wanted to make, so thank you.
Beth, that is so great – thanks for sharing that with me! I’m thrilled that you’ve found the recipe; please come back to share your son’s experience if you get the chance, as I’d love to hear about it!
*droooooool
Thank you!!!! I found one of your pictures on facebook when a friend tagged me. I am thrilled to have found your recipe. I am going to share it on my business page with link back to you. CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE THESE!!!!
I’m glad you’ve found it too, Jennine! Hope you enjoy these treats, and thank you for your desire to share them!
