Instructions
In a food processor, crush chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add crème de menthe (or mint extract and milk) and green food coloring if using. Fold in the whipped cream until the filling is light and fluffy.
Spread the mint filling evenly over the chilled cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with whipped topping and chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
