Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (about 20 cookies)
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• For the Filling:
• 8 oz (227g) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
• Green food coloring
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• For Garnish (optional):
• Whipped cream
• Mini chocolate chips
• Chocolate shavings or sprinkles

Preparation Method

1. Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl and mix until coated.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan and chill for 20 minutes.
3. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract in a large bowl until smooth.
4. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping gently.
5. Divide the filling into two bowls; leave one white and tint the other green.
6. Spoon the white and green fillings alternately into the crust.
7. Swirl the fillings gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
9. Spread remaining whipped topping over the pie and garnish with chocolate chips or sprinkles before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

Use gel-based green food coloring for a more vibrant swirl without altering the texture of the filling.
For an elevated dessert, drizzle melted chocolate or a mint-flavored ganache over the pie before adding garnishes.
To make clean slices, dip your knife in warm water and wipe it between each cut.
