Ingredient Notes
Oreo Cookie Crust
- Mint Oreo cookies: Regular Oreos can be used if the mint ones are not readily available. Avoid using the double-stuffed variety.
Pie Filling
- Instant pudding mix is a quick, no-fuss ingredient. I use Godiva pudding mix, but any brand of instant pudding mix will work.
- Mint or peppermint extract can be used.
- Whipped topping (Cool Whip) - This shortcut ingredient is the perfect finishing touch to this pie and holds up well in the refrigerator.
- Fudge-Covered Mint Oreo cookies - The chocolate coating keeps the cookies from turning soft from the whipped topping. These are available at many supermarket chains as well as Walmart. Andes Mint chocolates are also a great option for garnishing this pie.

How to Make Chocolate Mint Pie
Step 1: Add the cookies to the bowl of a food processor and pulse the cookies into crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse to combine. ress into a pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes to allow the crust to set before adding the filling.
Step 2: Pour the crumbs into a pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides. Chill the crust while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Add the pudding mix, half-and-half, milk, and extract to a mixing bowl. Whisk together for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is smooth and thick. Fold in ⅓ of the whipped topping. Pour the filling into the crust and spread evenly. Chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4: Spread the whipped topping over the filling and garnish with the fudge-covered Oreos (cut in half) and grated chocolate. Each cookie half represents a slice of pie and makes portioning the pie easy.
Expert Tips
- Avoid using double-stuffed Oreos to make the crust. The extra filling will leave the crust too soft and greasy.
- Since the pie needs to chill for a minimum of four hours, this is ideal as a make-ahead dessert.
Mint Pie FAQs
Since this pie is refrigerated, I don't recommend using whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. Whipped cream isn't as stable and will start to break down more quickly. If you prefer to use homemade whipped cream, it is best to use stabilized whipped cream, which has additional ingredients to make it more stable.
The pie should be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for three or four days.
