With a name like "Chocomint," you might expect a dessert with some kind of peppermint in it. While this dessert appears to look like an Andes Candy with the green filling and chocolate wafer cookie crust, it is, in fact, a lime and chocolate dessert. Not mint. Lime. Because nothing says, "Mmm good" like chocolate pudding, Oreo cookies, and lime jello.
Chocomint Dessert
2 c finely crushed chocolate wafers
1/2 c melted butter
13 oz Richwhip topping
3 oz pkg lime jello (lemon)
8 oz cream cheese
1 c sugar
several drops green food coloring (yellow) (optional)
1 4.5 oz pkg instant chocolate pudding
1 1/3 c milk
Combine crumbs and butter and reserve 1/3 cup for topping. Press remainder in 13x9" pan. Whip the Richwhip topping. Meanwhile, dissolve jello in 1 cup boiling water; let stand 30 minutes. Beat together cream cheese and sugar. Gradually beat in jello and food coloring. Fold in cheese mixture into the Richwhip topping. Spread half over crust, chill 1 hour. Keep remaining mixture at room temperature. Beat together pudding mix and milk. Let stand 2 minutes. Spoon over layer in pan. Top with remaining cheese mixture, sprinkle crumbs over. Chill.
