Peppermint Ice Cream Cake Recipe

We’ll be serving this easy, delicious treat at the holidays for sure. This festive cake is cold and creamy, rich, and light all at the same time. The peppermint ice cream’s crunchy bits are a great contrast to the cake’s softness and creamy topping. This will also work with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Mint Oreo Icebox Cake Recipe

This 3-ingredient, no-cook summer treat is the perfect dessert when it's too hot to turn on the stove (or oven). The crushed chocolate sandwich cookies form a firm yet moist crust when mixed with store-bought fudge topping and put in the freezer to firm up for several hours.

Andes Mint Brownies Recipe

These decadent layered Andes mint brownies are the ultimate indulgence for any mint-chip lover. In order to create clean layers, it’s important that you’re working with cool ingredients—so be sure to allow the brownies to cool completely before spreading the icing on, and then chill before adding the chocolate ganache so that it will set quickly.Ā

Mint Chip Halo Top Milkshake

Mint Chip Halo Top Milkshake Recipe

For a lighter spin on a traditional mint chocolate chip milkshake, we used Halo Top ice cream. With just a little milk to thin out the pint of ice cream, this simple dessert concoction is a winner (and one that you won't feel guilty about later).

Oreo-Mint Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipe

This 3-ingredient, no-cook summer treat is the perfect dessert when it's too hot to turn on theĀ stove (or oven). The crushed chocolateĀ sandwich cookies form a firm yet moist crust when mixed with store-bought fudge topping and put in the freezer to firm up for several hours. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is the perfect filling to make an impressive treat without the fuss of a "from-scratch" dessert.Ā The best part is, you can experiment with other flavors using the same construct (think chocolate-peanut butter, caramel-pretzel, and more). Tip: To easily cut bars,Ā run knife under hot water just before slicing.

If you can manage to wait, chief baking officer Arnold Eric Wong of Raison d'Être bakery in South San Francisco recommends serving his moist brownies a day after baking because they develop an even fudgier texture and mintier flavor.

Take the traditional Sicilian cannoli, a pastry with a crispy outer shell and dreamy cream filling, and give it holiday flair with chopped peppermint candy. This dish is very simple, though it does require a cannoli tube to shape the shell. Try our flavor variations for a one-of-a-kind dish at your next holiday gathering,

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Bark Recipe

Melt chocolate, spread it out, and add your favorite toppings--that's almost all there is to making bark. We added one important step, though: tempering the chocolate (carefully melting and cooling it to specific temperatures while adding large chunks of unmelted chocolate) so the bark stays shiny and snappy.
