Print Recipe

A quick and simple no-bake pie featuring a creamy minty filling and a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, perfect for summer dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed finely
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy cream, cold and fresh, whipped to soft peaks
  • ½ cup (120 ml) crème de menthe liqueur (or 1 teaspoon peppermint extract for non-alcoholic version)

Instructions

  1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, crush cookies in a resealable plastic bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs with some small chunks remain.
  2. Press the cookie crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish using the back of a spoon or bottom of a glass to compact the crust well.
  3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set.
  4. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  5. Gently fold the crème de menthe (or peppermint extract) into the whipped cream using a spatula, maintaining the airy texture.
  6. Spoon the minty whipped cream filling into the chilled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and filling to firm up.
  8. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Garnish with extra crushed cookies or fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Chill the pie dish before starting to keep the crust crisp. Do not skip chilling time for best texture. Use a hot knife dipped in water for clean slicing. For gluten-free, use gluten-free chocolate wafer cookies. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free cookies. Fresh mint leaves can be folded into whipped cream for extra freshness.
