Easy Mint Chocolate Cookie Trifles
These Easy Mint Chocolate Cookie Trifles have layers of mint Oreo cookies, chocolate pudding, and mint whipped cream! It's an easy dessert recipe to quickly throw together and people love it!
It's that time of the year when everyone is looking for a simple dessert to serve. I had to put together these simple and easy mint chocolate cookie trifles. Delicious, refreshing, and so darned pretty. These are the perfect little summer dessert.
Friday (June 26th) was National Chocolate Pudding Day. Of course, I'm just a hair late, but I'm going to celebrate it with these trifles anyway. Kozy Shack has some fantastic pudding, especially the chocolate! I've done a post before my favorite pudding snacks, because I just can't get enough of it.
I can't think of a better way to eat this chocolate pudding right now. Mint chocolate cookies and mint whipped cream! I think I did National Chocolate Pudding Day justice!

Can we admire the mint leaves on top of our trifles? I picked them from my flower pot outside. I have some mint and lavender growing in it. I'm sort of surprised it's grown as much as it has with all the rain and lack of sun that's been happening lately.
Easy Mint Chocolate Cookie Trifles
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- small drop of leaf green gel paste color optional
- 1 cup prepared chocolate pudding
- 7 mint Oreo cookies coarsely chopped
- 1 mint Oreo cookie quartered for garnish
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add in the heavy cream. Mix on medium until the heavy cream thickens up and reaches soft peaks.
- Add in the powdered sugar, peppermint extract and leaf green gel paste color. The food color is completely optional, but adds to the look. Mix on high until stiff peaks form.
- Add the 1M piping tip in a disposable piping bag. Fill the bag with the mint whipped cream.
- Place the pudding into a sandwich bag. Press out the air and seal the bag.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the coarsely chopped cookies in the bottom of a 3 ½ inch glass. It can be a size of your choice, but this is what I used.
- Cut a small hole in the corner of the sandwich bag with the pudding in it. Pipe a nice layer on top of the cookies.
- Add a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers.
- Top with a piece of cookie and mint leaves.
- Refrigerate until you're ready to serve!

I’ve made these a few times and they’re always delicious and look impressive. Thank you Miranda!
Hi, i just wanted to as if there is another alternative that pudding?
You could simply skip the pudding layer and have the cream and cookies be the main trifle. You could also use chocolate ice cream for a frozen version or yogurt for a healthier treat.
What can i use instead of kozy shack please?
Hi Alison! You can use any kind of chocolate pudding for this recipe.
What is the life of these when refrigerated?
About 3 days

Hi Sheila! It makes 4.
Hi, wondering if these can be made a day ahead? Planning to serve this at an upcoming Christmas party ?
Yes!
I made these for my graduation party as well as 3 other trifles and I was scared they wouldn't be a big enough hit even though I thought they were delicious! Due to my worries, I made very few of them and soon regretted it! They were gone faster than any of the others! And wow! These were so amazing! I loved them and they look amazing!❤️❤️
Oh my goodness! These. Look. Amazing!
Yay! Thank you so much!
WOW! Those look great!!
Dear Miranda, these look wonderful! What a wonderful summer treat. I love chocolate pudding. xo, Catherine
