Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of brownie mix (or your favorite homemade brownie recipe)
- Ingredients required for the brownie mix (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Shaved chocolate or chocolate curls for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions and bake in a 9-inch springform pan for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.
