- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Mint extract
- Green food coloring, a few drops to achieve desired color
Lasagna and Garnish
- 8 sheets No-boil lasagna noodles

Instructions
- Gather ingredients. Collect all required ingredients to ensure a smooth preparation process without interruptions.
- Mix mascarpone filling. In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and mint extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Add green color. Gradually add green food coloring to the mascarpone mixture until you achieve a vibrant shamrock green hue.
- Layer the dessert. In a suitable baking dish, layer no-boil lasagna noodles and spread a generous amount of the green mascarpone mixture over each noodle layer. Continue layering until all filling is used, finishing with a layer of the mint mascarpone on top.
- Chill to set. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.
- Garnish and serve. Before serving, garnish the top with freshly whipped cream or mint leaves for an elegant touch and added freshness.
Notes
- Use no-boil lasagna noodles to avoid any baking; this dessert is assembled and chilled only.
- Adjust mint extract and sweetness according to personal preference.
- For a stronger mint flavor, fresh mint leaves can be finely chopped and added to the mascarpone mixture.
- This dessert is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
