Instructions
- Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor to form fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze for at least 15 minutes.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until combined. Mix in peppermint extract and green food coloring. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the mint filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until simmering, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour the cooled ganache over the chilled pie. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing and serving.
Notes
Tip 1: Ensure the cream cheese is fully at room temperature to prevent a lumpy filling.
Tip 2: Don't rush the chilling process. The pie needs to be very firm for clean slices and to support the ganache topping.
Tip 3: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
