How to Make Green Peppermint Chocolate Loaf Dessert

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of lime-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water.
  2. Stir in 2 cups of cold water and 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract (add more to taste if desired). Taste the mixture after adding the extract to ensure sufficient peppermint flavor.
  3. Refrigerate for 1 hour until slightly thickened but not fully set.
  4. Crush 1 package (3.5 ounces) of Oreos into crumbs.
  5. Pour 1 ¾ cups of the thickened gelatin mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to begin setting.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping (Dream Whip or Cool Whip) into the remaining gelatin mixture.
  7. Spoon 1/3 of the whipped topping-gelatin mixture over the first layer in the loaf pan. Sprinkle with ½ of the Oreo crumbs.
  8. Repeat layers with another 1/3 of the mixture, remaining Oreo crumbs, and the final 1/3 of the mixture.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
  10. Carefully unmold the dessert onto a serving platter.
  11. Optional: Garnish with additional whipped topping and Oreo crumbs before serving. Serve chilled and cut into approximately 1-inch-wide slices.
