Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as 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 the Garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Green sprinkles or shamrock-shaped candies
  • Chocolate shavings or drizzle

Instructions

  • Make the Crust:

    • Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
    • Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • Beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
    • Add peppermint extract and green food coloring, and mix until well combined.
    • Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • If using mini chocolate chips, fold them into the filling for added flavor.

  • Assemble the Pie:

    • Spoon the mint cream filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  • 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.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
  • Variation Ideas:
    • For a Grasshopper Pie, add cocoa powder to the filling for a chocolate-mint flavor.
    • Use dairy-free alternatives for a plant-based version.
    • Add chopped nuts or crushed cookies for extra crunch.
