Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Peppermint extract
- 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 oz Dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cups Whipped cream (for topping)
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using) to the cream cheese mixture and continue to beat until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating the mint filling.
Pour the mint filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chopped dark chocolate until smooth. Let the chocolate cool slightly but still be pourable.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the mint filling in a decorative pattern, or spread it into a thin layer over the top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings if desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Creamy Layers Chocolate Mint Pie!
