Ingredients
  

  • 24 Oreo cookies Crushed for crust
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted For crust
  • 7 oz marshmallows About 30 large marshmallows for the filling
  • ½ cup half and half cream A blend of milk and heavy cream for filling
  • ¼ cup crème de menthe For mint flavor
  • 2 tablespoon crème de cacao For chocolate flavor
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 30-35%MF divided for filling and whipped cream
  • Green food coloring Optional for color

Method
 

  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 crème de menthe and crème de cacao 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 (optional), 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.
  10. (Optional) Before serving, decorate the pie with whipped cream, fresh mint leaves, and crushed Oreo cookies.
