4. Blend all the filling ingredients EXCEPT the cacao in a high speed blender or food processor until smooth.
5. Start with ½ tsp of peppermint oil & increase if needed after blending.
6. Set aside ⅓ of the filling (this will be the chocolate layer).

8. For the chocolate layer, using the ⅓ of filling you set aside, sift in 3 tbs of cacao powder & mix well.
9. Layer this onto the green filling, then return to the freezer to set a little.
10. Layer on the remaining green filling & return to the freezer.
