Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (preferably Oreo crumbs with filling)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- Chocolate shavings or crushed peppermint candies for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Chill for about 10 minutes.
- Make the creamy mint layer: Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold into cream cheese mixture. Add peppermint extract and green food coloring if using. Spread evenly over chilled crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache layer: Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and butter. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Cool slightly and spread over mint layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Whip and add topping: Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread over set chocolate layer. Garnish with chocolate shavings or crushed peppermint candies.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate assembled dessert for at least 2 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
Chill between steps to ensure layers set properly and slicing is neat. Whip cream to the right consistency to avoid grainy texture. If ganache is too runny, chill briefly before spreading; if too thick, warm gently. Can be made dairy-free or gluten-free with substitutions.
