Oreo Mint Trifle – St Patrick’s Day Dessert
St Patrick’s Day is coming up and what would be more fun than surprising your family with a festive minty green treat for a snack or dessert after dinner! I love the combination of chocolate & mint (love the Girl Scout Thin Mints), so I love that this Mint Trifle combines those flavors of chocolate, whipped cream & mint all into one delicious dessert!
Oreo Mint Trifle
Ingredients:
1 package of Oreo Mint Cookies {or Girl Scouts Thin Mints during the season}
1 small package JELL-O Chocolate Pudding
2 cup cold Milk
2 cup Heavy Cream
¼ cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp Mint Extract or 1-2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil (optional in case you don’t like mint – you could also substitute with vanilla)
Green Food Coloring
Directions:
Make pudding according to package directions. Place in refrigerator.
Whip heavy cream until it begins to peak. Add powdered sugar and continue to whip. Add mint and 6-10 drops food coloring and continue to whip until peaks form.Place in refrigerator.
Chop approximately ¾ of the Oreos and scatter into bottom of container. Top with about 1/4 cup chocolate pudding, then add another small amount of Oreo topping.
Top with whipped cream mixture. If you happen to not like mint you can opt out of the mint ingredients and use vanilla instead.
