Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 cookies chocolate sandwich cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 drops green food coloring
- 1.5 cups heavy cream, whipped
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, melted
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
In a small bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until evenly moistened.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Assemble the parfaits by layering cookie crumbs at the bottom of each serving glass.
Spoon or pipe a layer of the mint cream mixture on top of the cookie crumbs.
Drizzle a small amount of melted dark chocolate over the mint cream layer.
Repeat the layering process, finishing with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips on top.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour to set and chill.
Garnish each parfait with a fresh mint leaf just before serving. Enjoy!
