About this Recipe

Indulge in layers of creamy mint mousse, crushed Oreo cookies, and rich chocolate ganache in this Minty Green Oreo Parfait. A decadent treat for any occasion.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2o Oreo Sandwich Cookies, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 – 3.9oz. package JELL-O Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
  • 1 – 4.67oz. package Andes Creme De Menthe Thins
  • 2 1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 – 8 ounce brick Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • Green Food Coloring

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse oreo cookies and Andes Mint Chocolates into fine crumbs.  Reserve a few tablespoons for garnish.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk.  Let set for 5 minutes. 

Step 3

While the pudding is setting, in a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken.  Slowly ad in 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.  Combine until mix thickens and stiff peaks form.  Don’t overbeat or it will become too thick and clumpy.  Pour into a bowl and set aside.

Step 4

In the same mixing bowl as heavy cream was used in, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add in the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk.  Mix until well combined.

 

Step 5

Add several drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until your desired mint green color is achieved.

 

Step 6

In individual dessert cups or parfaits glasses, layer the bottom with a spoonful of the crushed Oreo/Andes mixture, followed by a layer of the chocolate pudding, then a layer of the green cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of the green cream cheese mixture on top.

Step 8

Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of the reserved Oreo/Andres crumbs and a few pieces of chopped Andes chocolates on top.

STEP 9

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.  Not recommended to store overnight as oreo layer may become too soft.
