Over 20 Fabulous Gluten-Free Green Mint Desserts

In honor of Creme de Menthe Day (September 15), I’m sharing this newly updated collection of absolutely delicious and beautiful gluten-free green mint desserts with you because a few of these recipes are made using Creme de Menthe. Don’t worry if you don’t keep Creme de Menthe on hand though (or perhaps have never even heard of it!); there are plenty of options here that don’t require it. I absolutely love mint desserts—especially with chocolate!—and I bet many of you do as well.

When they also happen to be green, they’re ideal for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Many of these treats are also perfect for National Chocolate Mint Day (February 19). Or any day—today, tomorrow—really because, yum, mint! Again, mint desserts are definitely some of my very favorites, but particularly when they feature chocolate and mint together.

    I’ve got a huge smile on my face right now! Thanks so much for featuring three of my recipes in this great round-up! As you can see, I do love chocolate and mint together!
    I’m off to pin these other recipes that are new to me! Those doughnuts look like something I need to make SOON!

      Hi Michelle–I’m so happy to brighten your day, dear! Your “green mint” desserts are irresistible! These are all really pretty and super appealing desserts, aren’t they? And, yes, I’m with you … Jeanine’s doughnuts would be near the top of my list for sure! 🙂

      Hey Jillian–Good to see you! I’ve love to link up to your corn-free link party with my gfe recipes when I remember, but I don’t think this roundup would be a good entry. I’m pretty sure that several of these recipes contain corn.

    Oh how I love mint anything, Shirley! All these recipes look amazing. I’m particularly intrigued by the raw avocado mint cream brownies – but honestly I’d like to try them all! Featuring this post at the Hearth and Soul Link Party this week. Thank you for sharing it. Hope to ‘see’ you there!

    Shirley,
    Not only do these recipes look delicious, most of them are made of very healthy ingredients too. There are quite a few that I might try! Thanks for so many wonderful choices especially since we have time to explore and make things while we are shut in.. Hope you are staying well and safe.

      Hi Judee–I agree! So many delicious and healthy options here. 🙂 We definitely have more time for cooking and trying new things. Now to find the motivation to do so! These are surreal and often scary times. Stay safe, dear!

    Hi Shirley,
    Looking through these recipes is exciting for me as I LOVE anything mint. When I was young my parents had a bottle of Creme de Menthe that I think lasted them about 10 years- they were not drinkers but would take it out for New Years for a few sips and a toast each year. I even go to taste it.. so funny haven’t thought of that in years. Thanks for the delicious looking roundup of desserts.

      Hi Judee–Thanks so much! I enjoy mint in desserts as much as you do! And I love your family memories of Creme de Menthe! I bet many have the same memories. It’s definitely an old-school spirit and mild-mannered enough to let the kids have a taste as you share. I remember many ads for it and lots of desserts made with it back in the day.
