Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon of mint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring, blending well until fully incorporated.
  2. Gently fold in 2 cups of thawed whipped topping (Cool Whip) into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until evenly mixed without deflating the fluff.
  3. Carefully fold in 1 cup of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of crushed chocolate sandwich cookies until evenly distributed throughout the fluff.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl or individual dessert cups, garnish with additional whipped topping, crushed cookies, or fresh mint leaves, and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
