Ingredients
- 24 chocolate covered mint cookies
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
- 15 drops green food coloring
- 8 ounces whipped topping (a small container of Cool Whip)
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crumb crust (like an Oreo crumb crust)
Instructions
- Crush the Chocolate Mint Cookies. You can do this by placing the cookies in a plastic ziptop bag and using a rolling pin to crush them, or you can place them in a food processor and pulse them to get them to the desired consistency. You don't want crumbs, you still want small pieces of the cookies. (See picture 2 in the above photo collage.)
- In a Stand Mixer, or in a large bowl, with a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese until fluffy.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth.
- Add in 1/2 teaspoon mint extract and about 15 drops of food coloring.
- Mix until the mint extract and food coloring are incorporated evenly throughout the cream cheese mixture. The color should be the same throughout the mixture.
- Add about 3/4th of the crushed chocolate mint cookies into the cream cheese mixture, and stir until evenly distributed.
- Fold in the whipped topping and stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spoon the filling into the chocolate cookie crust pie shell. (Note, if you have a small pie pan, you could have more a little more filling than will fit into the pan.)
- Cover the pie and place in the freezer on a flat surface and freeze overnight.
- The next day remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. Add more crushed chocolate mint cookies on the top of the pie just before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- To Make Your Own Chocolate Cookie Crumb Crust
- Recipe adapted from Taste of Home Grasshopper Pie.
- Taste of Home
- Measure carefully. You don't want to add too much mint extract and have the mint flavor be too overwhelming.
- Mint Extract. Stir the mint extract so it is completely and evenly distributed through the pie. Otherwise, you will end up with parts of the pie being extra minty and other parts of the pie not minty at all.
- Green Food Coloring. Also stir the food coloring into the mixture very well so that the color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture otherwise you have have some parts of the pie that will be extra dark green and others will be light green or white. Also, be careful with the food coloring to avoid getting it on your hands or clothes.
- Don't use a mixer when you add the whipped topping. Just use a spatula or spoon to fold in the whipped topping.
- Add the crumbs of 24 crushed Oreo cookies into a bowl.
- Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter and stir.
- Press into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate.
- Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
