Ingredients
  

  • 24 Oreo cookies crushed fine.
  • 4 tablespoons melted salted butter.
  • 1 jar 7 ounces marshmallow fluff.
  • 1/2 cup whole milk.
  • 1/4 cup green creme de menthe.
  • 2 tablespoons white creme de cacao.
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream.
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish.
  • Extra chocolate shavings for topping.

Instructions
 

Make the Cookie Crust

  • Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix them with the melted butter. Press the mix into your pie plate. Push it down firmly on the bottom. Also, press it up the sides. Put the crust in the freezer. Let it set for 20 minutes.

Warm the Marshmallow Base

  • Put marshmallow fluff in a large bowl. Add the half cup of milk. Microwave this for 30 to 60 seconds. Stir it until it is very smooth. Let it cool down completely. This part is very important for texture.

Add the Mint Flavors

  • Pour in the creme de menthe. Add the white creme de cacao next. Stir them into the marshmallow mix. The mixture will turn a pretty green. Make sure the color is even. It should smell like fresh mint now.

Whip the Heavy Cream

  • In a separate cold bowl, pour cream. Use your electric mixer on high. Beat it until stiff peaks form. The cream should be thick and fluffy. Do not over-beat it into butter.

Fold Everything Together

  • Gently put whipped cream into the green mix. Use a spatula to fold it in. Do not stir too fast or hard. You want to keep the air inside. It should look light and cloud-like.

Fill the Chilled Crust

  • Take the crust out of the freezer. Pour the green filling into the crust. Smooth the top with your spatula. Make it look nice and even.

Freeze the Pie

  • Cover the pie with plastic wrap. Put it in the freezer. Let it stay there for 6 hours. Leaving it overnight is even better. It needs to be very firm.

Garnish and Serve

  • Take the pie out before serving. Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top. Add a few fresh mint leaves. Cut it into clean, beautiful slices. Enjoy your cool, minty treat!

Notes

  • Use Cold Cream: Always use very cold heavy whipping cream. This helps the cream fluff up faster.
  • Chill the Bowl: Put your mixing bowl in the freezer. A cold bowl keeps the cream stable.
  • Cool the Marshmallows: Never add cream to hot marshmallows. It will melt and become a liquid.
  • Firm Crust: Press the crumbs very hard. This prevents the crust from falling apart.
  • Use Good Mint: Buy a good brand of creme de menthe. It makes the flavor taste much better.
  • Perfect Slices: Run a knife under hot water. This helps you cut perfect, clean slices.
