Ingredients You’ll Need

Each ingredient in this No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie is hand-picked to deliver the ultimate refreshing dessert experience. You’ll find simple, everyday items that work together to create those luscious layers and that iconic minty coolness.

• Mint Oreo Cookies: These are the foundation for your crust, adding deep chocolate flavor and a pop of mint right from the start. Use extra crumbs for a decorative topping!
• Unsalted Butter: Melted butter binds the cookie crumbs into a rich, sturdy (yet tender) pie crust that practically melts in your mouth.
• Marshmallow Creme (or Large Marshmallows): For that signature whipped, cloud-like filling. Marshmallow creme is super convenient, but melting large marshmallows works great too.
• Heavy Whipping Cream: Whipped until fluffy, this creates the pie’s silky texture and lightness—don’t substitute with milk or lower fat cream!
• Crème de Menthe: Adds authentic minty flavor and that gorgeous pale green hue. For a non-alcoholic version, swap in milk plus peppermint extract and a touch of food coloring.
• Extra Mint Oreo Crumbs: For sprinkling over the top—because who doesn’t love a little extra cookie crunch?

Variations

One of the joys of making No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie is how easily it adapts to different tastes and occasions. Switch up the flavors, tweak the ingredients, or get creative with your presentation—the options are nearly endless!

• Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace crème de menthe with a mix of milk, peppermint extract, and a drop of green food coloring for all the minty flavor and none of the spirits.
• Classic Chocolate Crust: Try regular Oreos instead of Mint Oreos in the crust if you want less mint and a deeper chocolate crunch.
• Grasshopper Pie Style: Add a drizzle of chocolate fudge or chopped Andes mints over the filling before chilling for an extra decadent touch.
• Vegan Adaptation: Use plant-based marshmallow creme and coconut whipped cream, along with dairy-free butter and cookies, for a crowd-pleasing vegan dessert.

How to Make No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie

Step 1: Make the Mint Oreo Crust

In a food processor, pulse the Mint Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Once you’ve reached a sandy consistency, add the melted unsalted butter and pulse again until everything is evenly moistened. You can also do this in a mixing bowl if needed—the mixture should hold together when pressed. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using the back of a measuring cup for a smooth, even base. Freeze for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Marshmallow Base

If you’re using marshmallow creme, warm it in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30-45 seconds—just enough to make it soft and stirrable. If using marshmallows, melt them gently in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth, then let cool completely. This step ensures your pie filling will be light and easy to blend.

Step 3: Whip the Cream

Grab your electric mixer (or a sturdy whisk and arm power!) and beat the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. This will take about 4 minutes. Whipped cream gives the filling its gorgeous lift and airy texture.

Step 4: Mix Up the Mint Filling

Add the crème de menthe to your softened marshmallow base and blend until the color is uniform and the mint flavor is well mixed. Gently fold the whipped cream in with a spatula, being careful not to overmix—this keeps the filling out-of-this-world fluffy!

Step 5: Fill, Top, and Chill

Pour the mint filling into your chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with extra Mint Oreo crumbs (or mini chocolate chips for flair) and freeze for at least 5-6 hours, or overnight. Let it stand at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before slicing for that perfectly creamy texture.

How to Serve No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie

Garnishes

Top your No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie with a shower of extra Oreo crumbs, a swirl of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for a showstopper finish. If you’re feeling extra fancy, add a sprig of fresh mint or a drizzle of chocolate syrup—each bite becomes a celebration!

Side Dishes

Pair this pie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, iced coffee, or a tall glass of cold milk for balance. Fresh berries or a simple fruit salad also work wonders as light, bright complements to the richness of the No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie.

Creative Ways to Present

Mini pies in mason jars, individual parfait glasses, or even layered in a trifle dish all turn this crowd-pleasing dessert into adorable, single-serve treats. For parties, use cookie cutters to create fun shapes or alternate layers with fudge sauce for extra flair!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Keep leftover No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie covered tightly in the freezer or refrigerator for up to a week. The pie stays creamy and light, never icy—just remember to let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before slicing and enjoying again!

Freezing

This pie loves the freezer! Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or simply let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes before serving—no loss of creaminess and all the flavor preserved.

Reheating

No reheating required for No Bake Mint Chocolate Pie—simply let slices sit out at room temperature until just softened but still cool. This gives the perfect creamy bite without melting the crust.
