Recipe Notes

• Crust Tips: Make sure to press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan to ensure it holds together when slicing.
• Cheesecake Layer: For a more intense mint flavor, you can increase the peppermint extract slightly. Be cautious, as a little goes a long way.
• Pudding: Ensure the pudding layer is well set before adding the Cool Whip to avoid mixing the layers.
• Cool Whip: For an extra creamy top layer, you can fold in a bit of softened cream cheese or use homemade whipped cream.
• Chilling: Patience is key! Letting the dessert chill thoroughly will result in cleaner slices and better flavor.
