Ingredients

• 200 grams Chocolate cookies
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 500 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Mint extract
• 3 drops Green food coloring
• 200 grams Dark chocolate
• 50 milliliters Milk
• 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then mix it with the cookie crumbs until well combined.

Step 3

Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or similar dish to form an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the next layer.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring, then continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Spread the mint-flavored whipped cream evenly over the chilled cookie crust. Return to the refrigerator while preparing the ganache.

Step 6

Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.

Step 7

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it just barely starts to simmer. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 8

Let the chocolate ganache cool slightly before pouring over the mint layer. Smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 10

Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
