This is one of my favorite pies. I usually make it for Christmas ever year. Last year, with my sister getting married, things got a little chaotic and it didn’t get made. The ingredients for it (the cookies at least) have been sitting unopened in the pantry waiting for me since then. (The Cool Whip and cream cheese had been used and new ones purchased).
I don’t even know how to describe this pie. It’s cheesecake-y, but fluffier. It’s chocolate-y. It’s minty. It’s heavenly is what it is.
I got the recipe from my Mom. Not sure where she got it from.
Hollyday Mint Pie
1 c. crushed Keebler Grasshopper Fudge Mint cookies
3 tbsp. hot water
1 (16 oz.) Ready-Crust Graham Cracker pie crust
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
3 1/2 c. (8 oz.) Cool Whip Whipping Topping, thawed
6-10 drops green food coloring
Mix cookies and hot water. Spoon into crust and gently spread to cover the bottom.
Same here. I’ve had the cookies and pie crust sitting in my pantry for a LONG time.
This looks absolutely incredible! I’m visiting from the link-up; love your blog!
Thanks Allyson! It is delicious. It didn’t take long for us to eat it all!
