Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons mint extract
• 3 drops green food coloring
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
• 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Use a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the mint extract and green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Mix until fully incorporated but do not overmix to maintain the fluffiness.

Step 5

In individual serving cups or a large trifle dish, layer the dessert. First, add a layer of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, then spoon over a layer of the mint cream mixture.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process until the dish or cups are filled, ending with the mint cream layer on top.

Step 7

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top layer as a garnish.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Step 9

Before serving, optionally place a fresh mint leaf on each serving for a decorative touch.
