Description
This Oreo pie recipe features a striking mint green stripe and a delicious crunch from cookie shingles. It’s an easy, no-bake dessert perfect for busy families craving a refreshing yet indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 30 Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 0.5 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
- a few drops green gel food coloring, optional
- 6 extra Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Crust: Crush 30 Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form. Mix with 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, extending up the sides. Chill for at least 30 minutes until solid and firm.
- Make Mint Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces (226g) softened cream cheese until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Gradually beat in 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in 8 ounces (226g) thawed whipped topping, 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring (optional). Mix just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep it airy.
- Assemble Pie: Evenly spread the luscious mint filling over your chilled crust, using an offset spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until the filling feels firm to the touch.
- Add Topping: Just before serving, coarsely crush the remaining 5-6 Oreo cookies. Arrange these crushed pieces decoratively over the pie, then generously drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling. For dietary needs, plant-based whipped topping can be used for a vegan option, or gluten-free Oreo-style cookies for a gluten-free treat. Add 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract to the filling for an extra layer of flavor depth if you prefer less mint. Consider a homemade chocolate ganache drizzle for a premium upgrade. Store pie refrigerated.
