Mixing Up a Shamrock Mint Milkshake Pie
Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and blend with melted butter until perfectly combined. This will form the delicious base of your pie.
Gently press the buttery cookie mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to cover the entire bottom and sides evenly. Use your fingertips to create a smooth, compact layer.
Pop the pie crust into the refrigerator to set and firm up while you get ready to make the luscious filling. A chilled crust helps create a perfect pie texture.
In a large mixing bowl, blend mint ice cream with softened cream cheese until smooth and dreamy. The combination creates a rich, velvety base for your pie.
Carefully transfer the mint ice cream mixture into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Ensure the filling reaches every corner of the pie shell.
Place the pie in the freezer for several hours or overnight. This allows the filling to become wonderfully firm and helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed mint candies for an extra festive touch. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.

- Yield: 9 1x
Description
Shamrock mint milkshake pie blends Irish-inspired flavors with creamy dessert perfection. Green-tinted layers of mint and chocolate create a delightful treat you’ll crave all season long.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 5 tbsps (73 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) heavy whipping cream (or Cool Whip)
- ½ cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) peppermint extract
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
- 45 drops green food coloring (optional)
- whipped cream
- chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
- crushed Oreos or sprinkles
- Maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies and blend with melted butter until the texture mimics damp beach sand, then firmly press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides completely.
- Crust Chilling: Refrigerate the prepared crust for 15-20 minutes to solidify while preparing the filling.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese until silky smooth, then gently fold in softened mint chocolate chip ice cream, maintaining a light, consistent texture.
- Flavor Enhancement: Integrate peppermint extract thoroughly to amplify the mint profile, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Assembly: Transfer the mint ice cream blend into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading evenly with a spatula to create a pristine surface.
- Freezing Process: Place the pie in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours or ideally overnight, allowing the filling to solidify completely.
- Presentation: Before serving, embellish with whipped cream, sprinkle crushed Oreos, and optionally add green food coloring for a festive touch.
- Serving Technique: Let the pie rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to facilitate smooth slicing and serving.
Notes
- Crush Cookies Thoroughly: Ensure Oreo cookies are finely ground for a compact, smooth crust that holds together perfectly.
- Chill Crust Completely: Refrigerate the Oreo base for the full 15-20 minutes to create a sturdy foundation that prevents crumbling when serving.
- Soften Ice Cream Carefully: Let mint chocolate chip ice cream soften just enough to mix smoothly, avoiding melting that could compromise the pie’s texture.
- Serve with Precision: Remove pie from freezer 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal slice-friendly consistency without becoming too soft.
