Expert Baking Tips
- Pie Pan: Grease a 9.5-inch pie plate with cooking spray. This will make it a lot easier to remove each pie slice. You could also use a 9-inch pie plate.
- Crust: When making the filling, be sure to freeze the crust. This helps the butter to solidify once again.
- Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pie filling using a rubber spatula. If you are too rough, the pie might not set up properly.
- Chill Time: The pie needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before decorating and serving.
- Homemade Whipped Cream: An optional topping for the pie is whipped cream. Simply whisk together 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract using your electric stand (or handheld) mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
Ingredients Needed
Here are some notes on the simple ingredients we'll be using. For the full ingredients list, look at the recipe card below.
- Oreos: For the Oreo cookie crust, use regular. I don't recommend using double stuffed because of how much cream there is. You could use the mint Oreos if you wanted!
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Do not substitute with heavy cream. They are not the same!
- Cream Cheese: Use full fat cream cheese, not the low fat version.
- Peppermint Extract: All you need is a little bit of extract just to enhance the overall mint flavor in the pie.
- Green Food Coloring: This is optional, but I used a green gel food coloring.
- Andes Mints: If you can't find them in the store, you can buy them online here.
Instructions
Here are the step by step instructions on how to make this mint chocolate pie.
Step 1: Make the crust. Use a food processor to pulse the cookies into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter.
Step 2: Freeze. Press the crumbs firmly down into a greased pie pan using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup. Then gently press against the sides of the dish. Freeze until ready to use.
Step 3: Make the whipped cream. In a large bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks.
Place into a small bowl and put it in the refrigerator.
Step 4: Beat the cream cheese. In that same large mixing bowl using the electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract on medium-high speed until combined.
Step 5: Fold everything together. Gently fold in the whipped cream and then the chopped mints into the pie mixture. Scrape the entire filling over the top of the crust and use an offset spatula to smooth out.
Step 6: Chill. Cover the pie plate with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Decorate The Pie
Once the pie has set, add the whipped cream. I used a piping tip to decorate around the border of the pie. You could also use an offset spatula to spread the whipped topping over the entire pie.
Then add some extra chopped Andes Mints.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Storing Tips
Keep any leftover pie slices in an airtight container or use plastic wrap to cover the whole pie plate. This pie will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Do not leave it out at room temperature or it will spoil.
Frequently Asked Questions
I love to make my own pie crust because it's super easy! But, you could always buy one from the store if you prefer that option.
For the filling, no. I'm not sure how cool whip would effect the pie when setting up in the refrigerator. If you wanted to top your pie with cool whip that's totally fine!
To add even more chocolate flavor you could fold in ⅓ cup of mini chocolate chips to the pie filling. You could also add some to the top of the pie once set.
