A quick and easy no-bake pie featuring a minty, chocolatey filling with a rich chocolate cookie crust. Perfect for impressing guests with minimal effort and no oven required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 150 g; Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers preferred)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (about 85 g)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225 g)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar, sifted (90 g)
  • 1 ½ cups whipped topping, thawed (360 ml; frozen like Cool Whip or fresh whipped cream)
  • 2 tablespoons crème de menthe (or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract for non-alcoholic)
  • 3 to 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate (85 g)
  • Optional garnish: whipped cream dollops, chocolate shavings, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  2. Make the filling base: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar and beat until fluffy and lump-free, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Add flavor and color: Mix in crème de menthe (or peppermint extract) and green food coloring if using. Beat until evenly combined and minty fresh.
  4. Fold in whipped topping gently using a rubber spatula to maintain airiness.
  5. Fold in mini chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate.
  6. Pour filling into chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream dollops, chocolate shavings, and fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Fully soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold whipped topping gently to keep filling airy. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best slicing. If filling is too soft after chilling, freeze for 15 minutes to firm up. Keep kitchen cool during preparation to prevent cream cheese from warming too much.
