Biscuit Base
- Crushed biscuits or graham crackers – 200g
- Butter (melted) – 100g
Mint Layer
- Mint-flavored cream cheese – 250g
- Condensed milk – 150g
- White chocolate (melted) – 100g
- Fresh mint extract – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
Chocolate Topping
- AERO chocolate bars – 200g
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: Finely crush the biscuits or graham crackers. Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a lined slice pan to create a firm, even foundation. Chill briefly in the refrigerator to set.
- Make the Mint Layer: In a bowl, combine mint-flavored cream cheese, condensed milk, melted white chocolate, and fresh mint extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture over the chilled biscuit base and smooth out evenly. Return the pan to the fridge and chill for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Prepare the AERO Chocolate Topping: Gently melt the AERO chocolate bars using low heat or a double boiler to avoid burning. Once melted, pour the chocolate evenly over the set mint layer, spreading to cover the surface completely. The bubbly texture of AERO chocolate provides a light, airy finish.
- Chill Until Set: Place the entire slice in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing all layers to set firmly and flavors to meld.
- Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean cuts. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled for the best minty and chocolatey experience.
Notes
- Use good quality AERO chocolate to achieve the signature bubbly texture.
- Do not rush chilling times to ensure firm, neat layers.

- This dessert is best served chilled and not reheated.
