Oreo Mousse

I'm always on the hunt for easy and quick desserts. Sometimes I have to pull out a dessert with simple items. Because of the pandemic we can't always be choosy but dessert is always a necessity in my house. So I have been racking my brain trying to come up with simple ideas for dessert. Thats when I realised that these minimalist desserts are helpful to everyone because we are all in the same boat these days.

So this light, but delicious oreo mousse is the best dessert to start with.
