Equipment

  • Hand Mixer
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce cream cheese, full fat room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon mint extract
  • 16 drops green food coloring, liquid
  • 2 cups whipped topping half a tub
  • 1 9- inch chocolate pie crust

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, salt, mint extract, and green food coloring. Stir in the whipped topping and mix until well blended.
  • Spoon filling into the pie crust and spread filling evenly. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies crumbs over top of pie.
  • Chill the pie in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours and serve.

Notes

  • Soften Cream Cheese: Let it sit at room temperature for at least 60 minutes, so it blends smoothly and doesn’t leave lumps in your filling.
  • Whip it Good: Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until very smooth before folding in the whipped topping.
  • Adjust the Color: Add green food coloring gradually to get that signature pastel mint shade without going too dark.
  • Crush Cookies Just Before: If using Oreo crumbs as garnish, wait until just before serving to sprinkle them on. This keeps them crisp and prevents sogginess.
  • Add Texture: Stir in mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings to the filling for a subtle crunch.
  • Clean Slices: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts for neat, clean slices every time.
  • Start Slow: A little mint extract goes a long way; add it gradually until you reach your preferred level of flavor, tasting as you go.
  • Refrigerator: Store any leftovers loosely covered in an airtight container, or tent the pie with plastic wrap without letting it touch the filling, for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn, and this can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge overnight, then allow it to come almost to room temperature before slicing with a sharp knife.
