For the cheesecake

1 Using a mixer, combine the mascarpone, icing sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth. 

2 Add the double cream and whisk the two mixes together, towards the end add in the green food colouring until it turns into a pale green colour. Whisk until it forms solid peaks.

3 When whisked – fold through the chopped up Mint Aero pieces and spread on top of the biscuit base. Refrigerate for more than 6 hours hours to set.
