Ingredients

• 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
• 0 optional Chocolate shavings or mint candies (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove it to cool completely.

Step 6

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or using a double boiler), melt the chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 7

Stir the peppermint extract into the chocolate mixture. Pour this into the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 3/4 cup of heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. If desired, add green food coloring and gently fold to combine.

Step 9

Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the set chocolate layer.

Step 10

Garnish with chocolate shavings, mint candies, or any decoration of your choice.

Step 11

Chill the entire pie for at least 2 hours before serving to ensure it is fully set.

Step 12

Slice and serve cold.
