Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the milk in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined and fluffy. Add green food coloring if desired and gently stir to create a minty green color.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the mixture into the prepared chocolate crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Before serving, garnish with shaved chocolate or mini chocolate chips.
Notes
