Instructions
For The Crust
- Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
- Combine the crumbs with melted butter in a large bowl or directly in the food processor, mixing until evenly blended.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
- Refrigerate the crust to chill while you work on the filling.
For The Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Don’t overwhip—it should still look smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a saucepan over low heat, stir together the milk and marshmallows. Cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is silky smooth.
- Remove from heat, mix in the mint extract, and add a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Let this cool in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
- Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream, blending until smooth and uniform.
Assemble The Pie
- Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top for a neat finish.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Once set, slice and serve the pie chilled. Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh mint leaves for an extra special touch, if desired.

- Add a layer of chopped chocolate or chocolate ganache between the crust and filling if you're a chocolate fan like me. Storage - Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed container or plastic wrap for up to 3 days from making it.
