Ingredients

  • Chocolate ganache:
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (57 ml)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (200 g)
  • Cookie layers:
  • 36 Milano mint chocolate cookies (about three 7 oz packs)
  • 500 ml strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • Mascarpone filling:
  • 2½ cups cold heavy whipping cream (600 g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (108 g)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 8 oz cold mascarpone cheese
  • Topping:
  • Cocoa powder, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and ¼ cup heavy cream. Heat for 30 seconds and stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
  2. Whip cream: In a mixer, whip 2½ cups heavy cream with sugar, vanilla, and peppermint extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In the same bowl, whip mascarpone cheese with cooled ganache until smooth and combined.
  4. Switch to a paddle attachment and gently mix in the whipped cream until the filling is light and fluffy.
  5. Quickly dip each cookie into the cooled coffee and layer in a 9×9-inch dish.
  6. Spread half the mascarpone filling over the cookie layer. Repeat with another layer of dipped cookies, then top with the remaining filling.
  7. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  8. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Use espresso for a bolder coffee flavor.
  • Add mini chocolate chips between layers for texture.
  • Reduce peppermint extract to ¼ teaspoon for milder flavor.
  • Assemble in small jars for individual servings.
  • Do not freeze—chilling is essential for best texture.
