Ingredients
  

  • 30 g chocolate cookies can be gluten-free
  • 30 g unsalted butter melted
  • 50 g white chocolate good quality
  • 25 g mint leaves
  • 250 g soft cheese like Philadelphia
  • 50 g icing sugar
  • 150 ml double cream

Method
 

  1. Grease 4 round cake rings or ramekins.
  2. Put the cookies in a bowl and crush them with a pestle or a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and mix well.
  3. Spoon this mixture into the prepared rings (placed on a tray) or ramekins and rest them in the fridge.
  4. Finely chop the chocolate, set aside.
  5. Pour some boiling water in a small bowl. Add the mint and soak for a minute. Rinse with cold water, then squeeze out the water through a fine sieve, first using a spoon, then your hand.
  6. Put the mint, soft cheese and icing sugar in a small food processor. Pulse for a couple of minutes until well combined.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk the double cream until soft peaks form.
  8. Fold in the cheese mixture, then the chopped chocolate.
  9. Divide this mixture evenly between the rings - then chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Carefully remove the rings, then serve, garnished with some mint leaves.
