Instructions
Crust:
- Add the Oreo cookies to a blender or food processor and pulse to make cookie crumbs.
- Next, add the cookie crumbs to a large bowl, and add the melted butter.
- Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9 or 10-inch pie pan, leaving about 1 inch from the top. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust down. Chill until ready to fill.
Filling:
- Disregard the pudding instructions from the box, you will NOT prepare it as directed on the box.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pudding with the 3 cups of heavy cream and beat with an electric mixer until well combined and very thick.
- After that, add the cool whip and blend it in.
- Also, add the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring, and mix on low until combined. If needed add one or a few more drops of gel food coloring, until you achieve the right hue of green.
- Spread this filling over the crust. Cover the pie pan with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 4-8 hours.
Topping:
- Place a mixing bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes to 20 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the freezer. Add the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and beat with an electric mixer for 4-5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should hold its shape well.
- You can use a vegetable peeler on the side of a chocolate bar to make chocolate curls. But first, heat the chocolate bar in the microwave for 5-7 seconds.
- Spoon on top of the pie and top with chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves.
