Chocolate Layer Dessert

Everyone needs a midweek escape from work and I made this dessert for my co-workers for a relaxing evening full of laughter and after work drinks.

Chocolate Layer Dessert

Bottom layer ~

2 1/2 cup fine Oreo crumbs (I found these at amazon.com)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Middle layer ~

1 cup whipping cream
8 oz Mascarpone cheese
1 cup Nutella

Top layer ~

1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar


Melt butter and add the Oreo crumbs and powdered sugar in the same small saucepan.  Mix together well and tap down in the bottom of pint canning jars.  In a medium bowl, whipping cream until soft peaks form.  Add in mascarpone cheese and Nutella and whip until blended.  Spoon in (a cookie scoop works well) on top of Oreo crumbs mixture.  Tap jar against counter to get the Nutella layer to settle down flat in the jar.  Whip cream until soft peaks form and add in powdered sugar.  Spoon in on top of Nutella layer.  Top with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
