Next, make the creamy center. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sugar together. Add the custard powder and mix until combined. Slowly add the cream and stir until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
Finally, make the topping. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and cream together. Stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the mint extract. Pour the mixture over the creamy layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
