Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes so the crust can firm up.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
- Gently fold in whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Let pudding sit briefly to fully set, then carefully spread over the mint layer.
- Spread a generous layer of whipped topping over the pudding.
- Decorate with green sprinkles or maraschino cherries if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture and make sure it is fully softened to avoid lumps. Start with a small amount of mint extract and adjust to taste. Chill between layers for clean slices and defined layers. Wipe the knife clean between slices for neat presentation. The dessert must chill fully to hold its shape when serving.
