Chocolate Oreo Parfait

My husband showed me an Instagram of an Oreo Parfait and challenged me to make it. So I did and he gobbled it up :-)

Ingredients:

【Eggless Chocolate Pudding】
Corn starch - 3 TBSP
Cocoa powder - 3 TBSP
Milk - 1.5 cups
Sugar - 2-3 TBSP
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Butter -1 TBSP
Pure vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp

【Cream】
cold heavy whipping cream - 1 cup
Pure vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
Sugar - 1-2 TBSP or to taste
【Cookie】
Oreo cookies - 6 pieces to crush into crumbs, and 4 pieces for decorating

Steps:

Part A : Eggless Chocolate Pudding

1. Whisk together corn starch, cocoa, sugar and salt and stir the mix into 1/2 cup milk at room temperature making sure to avoid dry lumps from forming.
2.  Bring 1 cup milk to a boil in a thick bottomed saucepan.When the milk comes to a boil, reduce heat and stir in the cocoa milk. Let simmer stirring continuously until thick and creamy for about 10-12 mins. It is done when the saucepan bottom can be seen when scraped with a spoon. Remove from
heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until butter melts and blends in.

3. To avoid pudding skin from forming, cover with cling wrap on the surface of the pudding (not at the rim of the dish) and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or store up to 2 days.

Part B : Assembly

1. Place stainless steel mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for about 15-30 minutes. Then place all the ingredients for cream in the cold bowl and beat just until stiff peaks form. If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate.  (I used cream left from cake yesterday).

2. Put Oreo cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush it with your fist or a rolling pin. 

3. In a glass, assemble the parfait by layer the chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and Oreo cookie crumbs.
