The white cake gets infused with creme de menthe for a cool mint flavor, then gets smothered in rich hot fudge that seeps into every crack.
The final layer of mint-spiked whipped topping is light and fluffy, cutting through the richness like a dream.
Chef Tips
- Use green creme de menthe for that classic mint color in the cake and topping
- Let the cake cool completely before adding fudge or it’ll slide right off
- Chill the fudge layer briefly so the whipped topping sits perfectly on top
- Make ahead by assembling the cake and topping, then storing covered in the fridge
- Serve chilled for the best texture contrast between layers
Variations
- Grasshopper style: Add crushed Oreos between the fudge and whipped layers
- Extra decadent: Drizzle chocolate ganache over the mint topping
- Individual servings: Make as cupcakes for easier portioning at parties
