Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
  • 1 tablespoon crème de menthe liqueur (optional)
  • Green food coloring (a few drops)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • Extra whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
  • Crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Mix crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Melt Marshmallows: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine mini marshmallows and milk. Stir until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  3. Mix Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add cooled marshmallow mixture, peppermint extract, and crème de menthe (if using). Beat until fully combined. Add green food coloring and mix well.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Combine and Fill: Gently fold whipped cream into the minty cream cheese mixture. Pour filling into chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top.
  6. Chill the Pie: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top with extra whipped cream, crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, and fresh mint leaves as desired. Slice with a warm knife for clean edges.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter, cream cheese, and coconut whipped topping. Chill pie thoroughly for best texture. For clean slices, freeze pie for 30 minutes before cutting. Adjust mint extract to taste—start with less and add more if needed.
