Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill for Precision 🧊Refrigerate each layer for at least 30 minutes between assembly to ensure clean, distinct layers and prevent mixing of flavors.
- Food Coloring Pro Tip 🎨Add food coloring drop by drop to the custard layer, mixing thoroughly to achieve a consistent mint green color without over-saturating.
- Crumb Crust Perfection 🥥Press the coconut graham crumb base firmly and evenly into the pan, using the back of a measuring cup to create a compact, smooth foundation.
- Chocolate Drizzle Technique 🍫Melt chocolate chips with a small amount of butter and use a squeeze bottle or spoon to create a smooth, even top layer with minimal spreading.
- Peppermint Balance 🌿Start with half the recommended peppermint extract and taste, gradually adding more to achieve the perfect mint intensity without overwhelming the dessert.
