Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cookie Crust

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies or Oreos (about 24 cookies)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chilled heavy cream, whipped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Crust: Pulse the chocolate wafer cookies or Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Press these crumbs firmly into a pie dish to create an even base. Chill the crust to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese Base: In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth, forming a rich and tangy foundation for the filling.
  3. Add the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream: Scoop the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream into the cream cheese and beat until fully combined and smooth, resulting in a minty, creamy mixture.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping and Chips: Gently fold in the whipped topping and mini chocolate chips to lighten the filling and increase bursts of chocolate flavor. Optionally, add green food coloring for a festive look.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the creamy filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best set and flavor melding.

Notes

  • Soften ice cream at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easy mixing without melting.
  • Chill the crust thoroughly to maintain structure and prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh cream cheese for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to preserve the airy texture.
  • Enhance the presentation with extra chocolate chips or fresh mint leaves before serving.
