Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp mint extract
  • Green gel food coloring few drops
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 10 oz semi‑sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 cup powdered sugar, mint extract, and green gel coloring. Beat until smooth.
  • Gradually add remaining powdered sugar and mix until firm, scraping sides.
  • Scoop teaspoon‑sized rounds, roll into balls, then use a spoon or end of measuring spoon to press a shallow indentation in center of each.
  • Chill the shells to firm up (≈30 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, in a heatproof bowl, pour the heavy cream over chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes then stir until smooth ganache. Chill or thicken slightly.
  • Fill each shell indentation with ganache.
  • Chill for another ~30 minutes to set ganache. Serve cold.

Notes

  • Chill shells well before filling so they don’t collapse.
  • Use good quality chocolate for ganache flavor.
  • Adjust mint extract to your preference—start light.
  • Fill comfortably—not overflowing—to avoid mess.
  • Store chilled; allow 2 minutes at room temp before serving for ease of biting.
