Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies or graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • Optional: a few drops green food coloring
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by crushing your chocolate cookies or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of your pie dish. Chill the crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling to help it set firmly.
  2. Make the Minty Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to keep the filling airy. Add a few drops of mint extract and, if using, green food coloring, mixing gently but thoroughly to distribute flavor and color evenly.
  3. Add the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in your chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, scattering them throughout the filling to add bursts of rich chocolate in every bite.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the mint-chocolate filling over your chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a clean presentation, cover the pie with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the pie to fully set.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add your favorite garnishes like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves for an extra special touch.

Notes

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Keep cream cheese and whipped cream cold for best filling texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Fold ingredients gently to maintain a light and fluffy pie filling.
  • Let It Chill: Chill the pie overnight if possible to ensure it sets firmly.
  • Mint Extract Balance: Start with small amounts of mint extract and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering chocolate flavor.
  • Crust Pressing: Press crust firmly but not too hard to prevent cracking when slicing.
