This dessert was a bit of a disappointment. The texture was grainy and the flavor was bland.

I found this dessert to be a bit too minty. I think I would have preferred it with less mint extract.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chocolate mint, but I'm so glad I did! The flavors are perfectly balanced and the texture is amazing.
