Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed finely
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled and whipped to soft peaks
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • A few drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a processor, use a zip-top bag and rolling pin to crush the cookies to fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl.
  2. Pour 6 tablespoons (85 grams) of melted unsalted butter into the crushed Oreos. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish. Press evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes to set.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces (225 grams) softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add 1 teaspoon mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring if using. Fold until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips or shavings on top.
  8. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the pie set properly and the flavors meld.
  9. Before serving, let the pie sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature for easier slicing. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to get clean slices.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key for smooth filling. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid grainy texture. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use a warm knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, substitute ingredients accordingly.
