Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or an 8-inch square pan. Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup to ensure the crust is compact and even.
  3. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, blend the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream with whipped cream and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
  1. Take the crust out of the refrigerator. Pour the mint chocolate chip filling over the chilled chocolate cookie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula for a beautiful, even surface.
Chilling
  1. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until it’s firm enough to slice.
Serving
  1. Once fully chilled, cut into squares or wedges, garnish with mint leaves, and enjoy!

Notes

For the best flavor and texture, store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months, covering well to prevent freezer burn.
