No Bake Chocolate Mint Pie

I don't know about you, but I don't stop craving desserts just because it's hot outside.  This easy no bake chocolate mint pie tastes just like mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's very similar to a grasshopper pie, in flavor, but it's made without alcohol and without marshmallows. Creamy mint filling is wrapped in a homemade Oreo crust and topped with dairy free whipped topping for a cool and refreshing gluten free, vegan dessert.

After one bite of this chocolate mint pie, your taste buds will thank you!  Since this is a no bake recipe, it's perfect for the hot summer months when you don't want to turn on the oven. I also love to serve this during the holiday season because of it's festive green color and mint says Christmas to me!

Ingredient Notes

This easy recipe is made with just 6 simple ingredients.

• Vegan Cream Cheese - I use Miyoko's brand vegan cream cheese, but you can use your favorite brand.  If you're not dairy free, feel free to use regular block style cream cheese in the same measure.
• Coconut Cream - This is the full fat type in the can.  If you want to have an alcoholic pie, like the traditional grasshopper pie, substitute ¼ cup of creme de menthe liqueur in place of the coconut cream and mint extract.
• Powdered Sugar - If you're looking for a vegan pie, ensure you're using vegan friendly powdered sugar.
• Peppermint Extract, Vanilla & Green Gel Food Coloring - For flavor and color.
• Dairy- Free Whipped Cream - My favorite brand is Coco Whip and in this recipe there is no noticeable coconut flavor.  If you're not dairy free, use regular Cool Whip.
• Gluten free Oreos - Use any brand of chocolate cream cookie you like.  I've used either the Glutino brand or the name brand Oreos.  If you're not gluten free, use regular Oreos.
• Vegan Butter - This helps hold the crust together. If you're not vegan or dairy free, substitute unsalted dairy butter.

How to make a chocolate mint pie

This pie is so quick and easy to make and requires no baking.

STEP 1: Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse them until they are fine crumbs. Then pour in the melted butter and pulse a few more times.

STEP 2: Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch pie dish and press it into an even layer using the flat bottom of a cup. Refrigerate the crust while you mix the filling.

STEP 3: Combine the vegan cream cheese and coconut cream in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until smooth.

STEP 4: Add the powdered sugar, food coloring, mint extract and vanilla. Beat for five minutes.

STEP 3: Remove from the mixer and fold in the whipped cream with a spatula until it's a uniform color.

STEP 4: Spread the mint pie filling into your chocolate cookie crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.  You can also freeze the pie if you want more of an ice cream texture.

That's it! This pie takes less than 10 minutes to make from start to finish and the hardest part is waiting for it to chill.  Seriously, I have no patience, but the wait is definitely worth it!

Once the pie is done freezing, top with extra whipped cream and chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, then serve.

Storage

Wrap leftover chocolate mint pie in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
