Next, the crumbs into the prepared baking dish and pressed down gently to form a crust, then place into the freezer.
Filling:

First, take the baking dish out of the freezer and top with the pieces of mint, then, returned back to the freezer.
Secondly, in the bowl of a standing mixer, add in the cream cheese and beat until smooth and creamy.
Thirdly, put in the Cool Whip powdered sugar and food coloring gel and combine until fully incorporated.
Next, add a few more drops of the green food coloring, if the color is not bright enough for you.
In addition, take the baking dish out of the freezer and begin adding the green layer on top of them and pieces using a spatula to spread out evenly.
Furthermore, you will need to place the baking dish back into the freezer for another hour.
