Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
• 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
• 1.25 cups heavy whipping cream
• 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup whipped cream (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (for garnish)
• 6 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and continue beating until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Add the peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using) to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the color is evenly distributed and the filling is smooth. Set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 8

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 9

Just before serving, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the chilled pie in a decorative pattern.

Step 11

Garnish with dollops of whipped cream, mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings, and fresh mint leaves if desired.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert.
