1

Prepare the Crust

Crush 2 cups of chocolate sandwich cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with 1/2 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.

2

Make the Matcha Mint Ice Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of softened vanilla ice cream with 2 tablespoons of matcha powder. Stir until the matcha powder is fully incorporated. Add a few drops of mint extract for a refreshing twist. Mix well.

3

Layer the Ice Cream

Pour half of the matcha mint ice cream onto the prepared crust. Smooth it out using the back of a spoon or a spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes to allow it to set.

4

Add the Chocolate Ganache

Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled ice cream layer.

5

Create the Mint Layer

Add a few drops of green food coloring to 2 cups of softened vanilla ice cream. Mix until the color is evenly distributed. Pour the mint ice cream over the chocolate ganache layer. Smooth it out and freeze for another 30 minutes.

6

Final Touches

Remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the springform pan to loosen the cake. Carefully remove the sides of the pan. Decorate the top with some crushed peppermint candies or a sprinkle of matcha powder, if desired. Slice and serve!
