Cookies 'n Cream Cheesecake Mousse

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 - 8 Ounce Block Cream Cheese, softened

1/3 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup Marshmallow Fluff

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

8 Ounces Frozen Whipped Topping, thawed

15 Oreo Cookies

Maraschino Cherries for Garnish

Instructions:

Step 1:  Take 6 Oreos and set them aside - they will be used for garnish.  With the remaining 9 Oreos, break them up into about four pieces each and set aside.  

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar.  Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.

Step 2:  Add in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.

Step 3:  Add in the broken-up Oreos and mix until combined.  

Step 4:  Add in the whipped topping and beat until creamy and smooth.

Step 5:  Distribute the mousse between 6 dessert dishes.  Garnish with a whole Oreo and a maraschino cherry.  Serve immediately.

If you wish to make ahead, do not garnish until you serve it.  Cover the mousse tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.
