Ingredients
  

Oreo Crust
  • 24 Oreo cookies
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Mint Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract or to taste
  • 3-4 drops green food coloring optional
Chocolate Ganache
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie dish
  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Electric Mixer

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Spoon the mint filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
