A festive, creamy dessert with a cool mint flavor and a chocolate cookie crust, perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any celebration that calls for a little green!

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
    • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
    • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
    • A few drops of green food coloring (adjust for desired shade)
    • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
    • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • For Garnish:
    • Whipped cream
    • Green sprinkles or shamrock-shaped candies
    • Chocolate shavings or drizzle

Instructions

  • Make the Crust:
    In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring, mixing until evenly combined. Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the mixture for added texture and flavor.
  • Assemble the Pie:
    Spoon the mint cream filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a neat finish.
  • Garnish and Chill:
    Decorate the top of the pie with whipped cream, green sprinkles, shamrock-shaped candies, or chocolate shavings. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.

Notes

  • If you prefer a non-chocolate crust, you can use a graham cracker crust instead.
  • For extra texture, feel free to add more mini chocolate chips to the filling or sprinkle them on top.
  • The green food coloring can be adjusted to your preference—use more for a vibrant green or just a few drops for a subtle hint.
