1 9 inch pie plate
1 Food Processor
1 Hand Mixer

Ingredients

Oreo Crust

25 chocolate cream cookies crushed
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Whipped Mint Pie

1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces cream cheese , softened
¾ cup confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
Green food gel
1 cup chopped chocolate cream cookies optional garnish
non stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a pie dish by spraying with nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the crushed crushed chocolate cream cookies and melted butter until well combined and the cookie crumbles are well coated with the butter.
Pour the chocolate cookie crumble mixture into the prepared pie dish. Press the cookie crumbles into the bottom and sides of the dish to create a crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then remove the cookie crust from the oven and let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl use a hand mixer with beaters attached and whip the cream cheese until smooth.
To the whipped cream cheese blend in confectioners' sugar and whip until creamy. The mixture will thin slightly with the addition of the sugar.
Add in both vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food gel. Make a darker green, as it will lighten when the heavy cream is added. Whip the mixture until ingredients are smooth and combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, add the heavy cream. Use the hand mixer with beaters attached and whip until stiff peaks are formed, about 5 minutes. Start on low speed and increase to high as the mixture thickens.
Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until both are incorporated and no streaks of white remain, about 2 minutes.
Take the cooled pie dish with the oreo crust inside, and pour this whipped mixture onto the crust.
Spread evenly in the dish, then top with extra crushed oreos.
Let this dessert chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Cut, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note 1: I use Oreo cookies for this recipe but any chocolate sandwich cookie will work.
