Instructions
Pudding
In a small mixing bowl add 2 egg yolks and 2 tbsp cornstarch. Whisk until fully combined.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk to combine and allow the mixture to reach a simmer.
Temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly adding 2 tbsp of hot cream mixture to the egg yolks and whisk rapidly. Repeat 3 times.
Pour the tempered egg mixture into the saucepan and whisk until well combined.
Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens. Remove from the heat, pour the mixture into a glass bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the fridge to chill for 4 hours.
Whipped Cream
When the pudding is chilled, make your whipped cream. Add 1 cups of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, to a large mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until it reaches stiff peaks.
Oreo Crumbs
Place one cups of Oreos (including the filling) in a plastic zip-top bag. Smash with a rolling pin until it becomes a coarse crumb.
Assemble
Pour a few spoonfuls of crushed Oreos into eight small cups or jars. Cover with the chilled pudding, top with fresh whipped cream, and sprinkle the remaining Oreo crumbs on top—place in the fridge to chill for 2 hours. When ready to serve, serve chilled.
