Instructions

  2. Prepare the Pudding:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth.
    • Let the pudding sit for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Poke the Cake:
    • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cooled cake.

    • Pour the prepared pudding over the cake, spreading it evenly to fill the holes.
    • Spread the thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
  5. Add Toppings:
    • Sprinkle the crushed Andes mints over the Cool Whip layer. Garnish with additional crushed Andes mints if desired.
  6. Chill:
    • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
  7. Serve:
    • Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a more intense mint flavor, increase peppermint extract in the pudding mix.

To ensure clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry.
