30 Best Mint Chocolate Desserts

Step aside, caramel and peanut butter–I’ve been obsessed with peppermint lately, and I just had to share 30 of my favorite mint chocolate desserts. Chocolate is amazing because it can be rich, sweet, nutty, floral, or even a little bitter, depending on the kind you try.

Paired with peppermint? Pure magic!

1.Chocolate Mint Oreo Mousse

Need a quick dessert? This recipe is here to save the day! With just six ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, you can whip it up in no time. Chances are, you already have everything you need in your pantry.

Start by making vanilla pudding, infused with fresh mint extract and a hint of green color (optional, but fun!). Let it chill in the fridge for five minutes while you whip some cream to stiff peaks.

Finally, gently fold everything together for a light, airy treat. Perfect for last-minute cravings, this dessert is quick, easy, and irresistibly creamy with a refreshing mint twist.

2.Grasshopper Parfait

These individual parfaits are as much about the presentation as they are about the taste! Sure, you could use a mason jar or a regular bowl, but there’s something extra special about serving them in these cute stemless glasses.

The layers are just so pretty to look at! To give it an extra burst of minty freshness, I used mint Oreos, but Thin Mints would work perfectly too. It’s all about that refreshing twist!

3.Mint Oreo Buttercream Frosting

This frosting is a game-changer for any dessert, whether you’re topping cakes, cupcakes, brownies, or even cookie sandwiches. For an extra kick, try doubling the recipe and adding cream cheese–it makes the frosting tangier and gives it a silky smooth finish.

If you’re planning to pipe this frosting, make sure to crush those Oreos nice and fine. If they’re too chunky, they’ll get stuck and ruin your swirls. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, brownies, or even cookie sandwiches–this frosting does it all!

4.Vegan Mint Chocolate Tart

Ever wondered how to make a mint chocolate tart vegan, especially with white chocolate involved? I get it–I hadn’t baked with dairy-free white chocolate before, and I was curious how it’d turn out.

I’d heard it wasn’t as creamy and often had a nutty flavor from nut butter. It’s not bad, but it’s definitely different. But here’s the thing: when you melt it and layer it with the crust and dark chocolate, it’s actually really delicious.

The flavors come together in a way that works surprisingly well.

5.Chocolate + Mint Raw Vegan Cheesecake Bites

At first glance, these raw cheesecakes look so thick and creamy, you’d never guess they’re vegan! The secret to that luscious texture? Cashews! Soaking them makes it possible to create a creamy filling without any cream or cream cheese.

Blend those cashews with fresh mint, and you’ll be blown away by how delicious this dairy-free dessert turns out. It’s creamy, it’s fresh, and it’s a game-changer for anyone looking for a vegan treat.

6.Homemade Peppermint Patties

There’s something irresistible about that first bite of a peppermint pattie. The crunch of rich dark chocolate gives way to a cool, velvety-smooth mint filling–it’s pure bliss.

And let’s be real, you’ll be tempted to sneak another (and another). The key here is peppermint extract, which packs a punch, so start with a little and taste as you go to get that perfect balance of flavors.

Bet you can’t stop at just one!

7.Mint Oreo Cupcakes With Chocolate Oreo Frosting

These cupcakes are a blast because of the fun surprise hiding underneath! Start by splitting a mint Oreo cookie–place the half with the filling at the bottom of your cupcake liners.

Then, pour your cake batter over it. As they bake together, the cookie flavor mixes into the cake. It’s a delightful twist that’s sure to impress!

8.Rich And Creamy Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Cozy up with a rich, festive cup of peppermint hot chocolate that’s worth every extra minute of prep. This recipe uses melted peppermint bark for a thick, creamy texture, blended with milk, half & half, cocoa powder, crushed candy canes, and a hint of peppermint extract.

For an even thicker, French-inspired version, swap the cocoa powder for chocolate chips and add a touch more vanilla extract. Perfect for the holidays or a chilly night in.

10.Homemade Junior Mints

Junior Mints are like the cooler, smaller cousins of Peppermint Patties. The filling here has a different vibe–super creamy and just the right amount of tangy to complement the chocolate.

The result? A refreshing, chocolatey delight that’s perfect for any mint chocolate lover.

11.No-Bake Peppermint Pie

Imagine a no-bake pie that tastes just like a cup of hot cocoa. The filling is made with melted marshmallows, a hint of peppermint extract, and a fluffy cloud of whipped heavy cream.

19.3-Ingredient White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels

This easy recipe only needs three simple ingredients: pretzels, white chocolate, and crushed candy canes. While it’s a breeze to make, dipping each pretzel can take a bit of time.

For a quicker twist, try using pretzel rods instead–they’ll be ready in no time! The combination of salty pretzels, creamy white chocolate, and peppermint candy canes is absolutely delicious.

Perfect for a quick treat that’s as tasty as it is easy to make!

23.Mint Chocolate Bark

Ever found yourself wanting to make peppermint bark but the stores are out of candy canes? This recipe is here to save the day! Since you’ll be coloring white chocolate, we highly recommend using gel food colors–liquid colors can make the chocolate seize up and turn lumpy.

Or, if you prefer, you can skip the color altogether and just use peppermint extract for flavor. Either way, you’ll get delicious results!

24.Mint Chocolate Chip Brownie Pizza

Craving a treat that fits your dietary needs? Look no further! This vegan and gluten-free brownie recipe is a game-changer, especially since it can be tough to find mixes in local stores.

Rich, fudgy, and totally indulgent, this homemade mix is a must-try. The brownies are so good, you’ll forget they’re vegan and gluten-free! Just a tip: the topping can be a bit runny, so adding a little extra powdered sugar will help you get clean, neat slices.

Enjoy your guilt-free dessert without missing out on flavor!

25.Mint Chocolate Cupcakes

Mint Chocolate Cupcakes are a refreshing twist on a classic treat. The batter and frosting both get a boost of mint extract, making the flavor unmistakably cool and delicious.

For the moistest results, follow the cupcake recipe closely–it’s worth the attention to detail! Dutch cocoa and white vinegar are essential here, so trust the process.

While hot coffee usually adds depth to chocolate cake, it’s optional in this minty version. The result? Cupcakes so moist and flavorful, you’ll want to make them again and again.

26.Thin Mint Cheesecake Brownie Cake

Let’s face it–Thin Mints are the ultimate stars of the Girl Scout cookie lineup. If you’re short on time, you can totally use Thin Mints as the base here, just like you would with Oreos.

But if you’re feeling fancy, a brownie base will give it a thicker, more indulgent twist. Either way, it’s a win-win!

27.Mint Chocolate Donut Recipe

Silicone donut trays are a bargain, and the adorable results will make every penny worth it. These baked donuts are tender, rich, and packed with chocolate flavor, plus a subtle hint of mint in each bite.

While the glaze itself doesn’t have mint, these donuts are generously topped with plenty of chopped chocolate mints for a refreshing twist.

28.Double Chocolate Mint Cookies

These days, it’s amazing how many flavored chips you can find–think caramel, cherry, strawberry, and cinnamon. They make baking cookies a breeze, and the results are incredibly tasty.

The only downside? Some flavors, like mint chips, can be tough to find in your local grocery store. That’s where Andes Creme De Menthe Baking Chips come in–chocolatey, minty, and perfect for all your mint-chocolate treats.

They’re the ideal solution when you can’t find what you’re looking for in stores.

29.Peppermint Brownie Truffles

These bite-sized treats are perfect for any chocolate lover! Made with fudgy brownies, these truffles are moist yet firm, with no need for frosting. For a festive twist, simply sprinkle crushed candy canes on top after coating them in chocolate.

Plus, you can customize them with all sorts of colors and flavors to match your mood. In this recipe, the Thin Mint crust brings a refreshing mint flavor to the table.

Just a heads-up: don’t go overboard with the mint extract in the filling, or it might become a bit too intense. A little goes a long way to strike that perfect balance of flavors.
