Print Recipe

A no-bake, easy-to-make pie featuring a minty cream filling and a crunchy Oreo cookie crust, perfect for gatherings and mint-chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo Cookies (about 1 ½ cups crushed, Double Stuf recommended)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • A few drops green food coloring (optional)
  • ¼ cup chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin (about 1 ½ cups crumbs). Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Transfer the Oreo mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Press the crumbs evenly into the bottom and up the sides to form a firm crust. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ¾ cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  5. Add 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream and gently fold to combine.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula to keep the filling light and airy.
  7. Pour the minty filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle ¼ cup chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips over the surface.
  8. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  9. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese and real whipped cream for the creamiest texture. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours for best results. For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative and heavy cream with coconut cream. Press the crust firmly and evenly to avoid crumbling. Adjust peppermint extract to taste to avoid overpowering the filling.
