Instructions
- Crush the chocolate cookies finely and mix with melted butter. Easiest way to crush the cookies is in a food processor. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
- In a large saucepan, melt the marshmallows in milk over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir in crème de menthe and crème de cacao. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired for a more vibrant color.
- Once the marshmallow mixture is at room temperature, place it in the fridge until it begins to set slightly, about 20-30 minutes.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture until well incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firmly set.
- Before serving, top with additional whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs.
