Ingredients
Crust
- 18 Mint Oreos (about 2 cups crushed)
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 1 cup (240mL) heavy cream (or heavy whipping cream)
- 8 ounces (227g) full fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 to 8 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1½ cups (288g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the 18 mint Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crust: Firmly press the Oreo crust mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling to help it set.
- Whip the cream: In a clean mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside for later folding into the filling.
- Make cream cheese mixture: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using) until smooth and creamy.
- Combine fillings: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Then fold in 1 cup of the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the filling.
- Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the prepared Oreo crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mini chocolate chips on top for garnish.
- Chill the pie: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to fully set and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing no bake mint chocolate chip pie!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- You can substitute the mint Oreos with regular Oreos and add extra peppermint extract for a stronger mint flavor.
- Green food coloring is optional but gives the pie a classic mint chocolate chip appearance.
- For easier crust pressing, use the back of a measuring cup or glass to compact the crumbs evenly.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
