About this deal
Always make sure the cream cheese is properly softened to help avoid cream cheese lumps in the truffle dough.
STEP ELEVEN: Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
This recipe is technically called Mint Oreo Bark. So, we should probably use mint extract. I will tell you that I have made this recipe with both and both are delicious. In the bowl of your mixer, add the butter and mix at medium speed until smooth. Slowly add the sugar and continue to mix on medium speed for three to five minutes until lightened and fluffy. (If using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment).
Store the ice cream in the freezer right in a loaf pan for up to 2 months for maximum freshness. To prevent ice from forming, tightly wrap the top of the ice cream with plastic wrap so it adheres to the top.STEP EIGHT: Add two to three drops of green food coloring gel and mix just until no streaks of green remain and the color is a uniform mint green.
PUDDING: You can substitute instant dark chocolate pudding mix for the regular instant chocolate pudding mix in this easy recipe. Transfer mixture to the greased 9-inch springform pan and, using the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup, press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
Add mint– For a shake with a bolder mint flavor, add a couple of mint leaves or a few drops of mint extract. The cream filling will combine perfectly with the cream cheese and it also gives it a pretty pale mint green colour! Pour and spread the ganache over the cheesecake, then return it to the refrigerator to set while you prepare the whipped cream.
