Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Filling
- In a separate bowl, blend the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream with whipped cream and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.
Assembly
- 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
- 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
- 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.
