Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/4 cups Oreo cookies crushed, about 18 cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
Filling
- 24 marshmallows
- 2/3 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur
- 2 tablespoons crème de cacao liqueur
- 2 Food Coloring green, drops
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Crust
- In a mixing bowl, add in the cookie crumbs and butter. Stir until it looks like wet sand.
- Press the crumbs into an 8-inch pie plate. Place into the freezer for at least 10 minutes to firm up. I leave mine in there until the filling is done.
Cup of Yum
Filling
- In a large saucepan over low heat, add marshmallows and half-and-half. Stir occasionally until completely melted.
- Fill a large bowl with ice cubes to cool the marshmallows and half-half down.
- Place the hot saucepan into the bowl of ice. Stir to help the mixture cool down faster.
- Once the marshmallow mixture is cooled down, add in both liqueurs and food coloring. Give the marshmallow mixture a taste to make sure the creme de menthe taste is to your liking. To add more of the liqueurs, begin by adding it by the teaspoon.
- In a mixing bowl, add in the heavy cream. Mix on medium until the cream is whipped into stiff peaks.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and carefully fold.
- Once the mixture is completely incorporated, add it into the store-bought graham cracker crust.
- Place the pie into the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Remove the pie from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving it.
Notes
- For a short cut, you can use a store-bought chocolate crust instead of making one.
