Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC) if baking the crust, otherwise prepare a 9-inch pie plate for a no-bake assembly.
  2. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
  3. Press the cookie crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate to form an even crust.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, creme de menthe, and creme de cacao. Whisk until smooth.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mint-chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and the filling is light and airy.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared cookie crust.
  8. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is completely set.
  9. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before slicing and serving.
