Description

Indulge in a luscious Shamrock Shake Dessert Lasagna that combines layers of creamy mint-flavored filling with a crunchy chocolate crust. Each bite offers a delightful contrast of textures, from the smooth, velvety cream to the crispiness of the cookie base, all infused with a refreshing minty flavor that evokes the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day.

Ingredients

Crust: 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Filling: 1 cup heavy cream, 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, 2-3 drops green food coloring
Topping: 1 cup whipped topping, 1/4 cup chocolate shavings, fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until well mixed.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form an even crust.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread half of the mint filling over the cookie crust, smoothing it out evenly.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining crust and filling.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Before serving, top with whipped topping, chocolate shavings, and fresh mint leaves.

Notes

This dessert can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
