  • 1/4 cup sugar (for base)
  • 1 egg (for base)
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (for base)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with tin foil.

  4. For the filling: Beat 1/4 cup butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk and beat until smooth, adjusting consistency with more milk or sugar if needed.
  5. Add mint extract and green food coloring as desired. Spread mint filling over the base in the pan.
  6. For ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter. Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Pour ganache over filling in the pan.
  8. Refrigerate until completely set, at least 2-3 hours, before slicing and serving.

Notes

Store refrigerated or freeze for up to a few months. Green food coloring is optional to enhance the minty look. This dessert is best served chilled.
