Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box Thin Mints cookies
- 1 box Samoas cookies
- 1 box Tagalongs cookies
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (for Samoas)
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking dish by lightly greasing the bottom and sides with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Crush the Thin Mints cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Spread the crushed cookies evenly across the bottom of the baking dish to create the first layer of the dessert.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks, ensuring a light and fluffy texture. Set aside approximately 1/2 cup for garnishing later.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth and completely melted.
- Crumble the Tagalongs cookies and sprinkle them over the Thin Mints cookie base, creating a varied texture and flavor profile.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate and caramel sauce evenly across the cookie layers, ensuring good coverage.
- Spread the whipped cream gently over the chocolate and caramel layers, creating a smooth surface.
- Crush the Samoas cookies and mix with shredded coconut. Sprinkle this mixture over the whipped cream layer for added crunch and tropical flavor.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and set properly.
- Before serving, garnish with the reserved whipped cream and additional cookie crumbs. Slice into 12 equal portions.
Tips
- Chill Out: Refrigeration is key to allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. Don't rush this step!
- Cookie Crushing Technique: For the most even crumbs, use a food processor or place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Aim for fine, consistent crumbs.
- Whipped Cream Pro Tip: Ensure your cream is very cold before whipping for the best volume and stability.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: Melt chocolate in short intervals and stir between each to prevent burning. Use a microwave-safe bowl and go slow.
- Make Ahead Magic: This dessert can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for party planning.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly and enhance flavors.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal taste and texture.
