Cook Time

Serves

8

Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crust
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 7 oz marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup half and half cream
  • 1 tablespoon mint extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Green food coloring

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2

Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and blend until combined.

3

Press the cookie mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.

4

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the marshmallows and half & half cream. Stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until the marshmallows melt and the mixture is smooth.

5

Once smooth, remove from heat and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the mixture cools to room temperature.

6

Once cooled, whisk in the mint extract and chocolate syrup until fully incorporated.

7

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, fold the marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream.

8

Add 8-12 drops of green food coloring, folding it into the filling until the color is even.

9

Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing out the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or until set.
