This delightful shamrock shake lasagna combines layers of mint chocolate cookies, a creamy mint filling, and fluffy whipped cream, creating a festive dessert perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any celebration. Enjoy the unique twist on a classic favorite!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (crushed) Mint chocolate cookies
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp Mint extract
- 3-4 drops Green food coloring
- ΒΌ cup Chocolate syrup
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine with Butter: In a mixing bowl, blend the crushed cookies with melted butter until thoroughly combined. The resulting mixture should have a texture similar to damp sand and should clump together when pressed.
- Press into the Pan: Take a 9x9-inch baking dish and evenly press the cookie mixture into the bottom to form the base layer. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Cream Filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until combined. Add mint extract and green food coloring until well blended.
- Incorporate Whipping Cream: Carefully incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until fully blended.
- Layer the Cream Filling: Spread half of the cream filling evenly over the cookie base in the pan.
- Add Another Layer of Cookies: Place another layer of crushed mint chocolate cookies on top of the cream filling. Press down gently.
- Repeat the Cream Layer: Spread the remaining cream filling over the cookie layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Refrigerate: Seal the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to achieve the best flavor and texture.
- Finish and Serve: Before serving, top the lasagna with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Notes
- Storage: The shamrock shake lasagna can be kept fresh for as long as three days.
- Serving Suggestions: Pairs well with coffee or milk for a delightful treat.
