Description

This Crème de Menthe Pie is a refreshing and indulgent dessert combining the cool minty flavor of crème de menthe liqueur with creamy sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping, all nestled in a rich chocolate pie crust. The optional Andes mints add a delightful texture and extra burst of mint chocolate flavor, making it perfect for mint lovers seeking an easy no-bake treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base

  • 1 chocolate pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Filling

  • 1/4 cup crème de menthe liqueur
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups whipped topping (e.g. Cool Whip)
  • 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped Andes mints (optional)

Topping

  • 2 tbsp chocolate shavings
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Mix the base filling: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and crème de menthe liqueur. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Fold in whipped topping and food coloring: Gently fold in the whipped topping and green food coloring (if using) until the mixture is evenly combined and fluffy, taking care not to deflate the whipped topping.
  3. Add Andes mints: If desired, fold in the chopped Andes mints to incorporate bursts of mint chocolate throughout the filling.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the creamy filling into the chocolate pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  5. Chill the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set properly and flavors to meld.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with chocolate shavings and dollops of whipped cream for an elegant finishing touch.

Notes

  • For a stronger mint flavor, increase crème de menthe liqueur slightly but be cautious not to make filling too runny.
  • If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute crème de menthe with peppermint extract, reducing quantity to 1-2 teaspoons.
  • Chilling overnight gives the best texture and flavor melding.
  • Use a pre-baked chocolate pie crust for convenience, or homemade for enhanced flavor.
  • The green food coloring is optional and only for visual appeal; it does not affect taste.
  • Andes mints provide crunchy texture but can be omitted if unavailable or unwanted.
