Filling
  • 2 cups heavy cream Whipped until soft peaks form

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the crust by pressing chocolate cookie crumbs mixed with melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 15-30 minutes.
Filling
  1. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in the green crème de menthe and white crème de cacao until combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the whipped cream to maintain the airy texture.
Assembly
  1. Pour the mint chocolate filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly.
  2. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  3. For faster setting, freeze for a couple of hours.

Notes

Store leftover pie tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2-3 weeks. Adjust flavors according to taste before setting in the crust.
