Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed into fine crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Mint-flavored liqueur (e.g., crème de menthe)
- 2 cups Whipped topping (thawed if frozen)
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the mint-flavored liqueur to the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until the filling is light and well combined.
Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top.
If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings on top as a garnish.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this refreshing and indulgent dessert!
