Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
Break the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid. Pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie-butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it down firmly. Place in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff, crème de menthe liqueur, crème de cacao liqueur, and mint extract (if using). If desired, add green food coloring to enhance the minty appearance. Mix well until smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture in 3 additions, taking care to maintain a light, airy texture.
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling over the crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a clean finish.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Remove the frozen squares from the dish using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 even squares.
Optionally, garnish each square with grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this cool, minty dessert!
