How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

  2. STEP 2

    Combine all crust ingredients in bowl; mix well. Press onto bottom and up sides of ungreased 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake 8 minutes. Cool completely.

    Combine 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Slowly add melted chocolate, beating until smooth. Stir in mint extract and green food color; mix well.

  4. STEP 4

    Place whipping cream into another bowl; beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1/3 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir whipping cream mixture into butter mixture. Spread mousse over cooled tart crust. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
