Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 24 Oreo cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 12 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Optional garnish: Chocolate shavings or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and mint extract. Mix until fully combined. Add green food coloring now if you desire a green tint.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine the filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling evenly into the chilled Oreo crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  7. Serve: Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or additional whipped cream, if using. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For an extra crunchy crust, use Mint Oreos instead of regular Oreos.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer, frozen dessert, you can freeze this pie for up to 2 hours before serving, but it is best served chilled directly from the refrigerator.
  • This recipe uses mint extract for a family-friendly, non-alcoholic flavor profile.
