Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Chocolate Cookie Crumbs Substitute with graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter Can be replaced with melted coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Ensure it's softened to mix easily.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the filling for a smooth taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract Use vanilla extract for a subtle twist.
  • 5 drops Green Food Coloring Adjust to achieve desired shade.
  • 1 cup Whipped Cream/Whipped Topping Store-bought works perfectly.
For the Swirl and Garnish

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • spatula
  • Electric Mixer

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until thoroughly blended. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Add peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring, mixing just until combined.
  3. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to over-mix.
  4. Pour the mint filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the melted chocolate on top and swirl it into the filling.
  5. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  6. Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream on top, along with chocolate shavings and optional green sprinkles. Slice and serve chilled.
