Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch pie plate and use a flat bottomed cup to press it into an even layer. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
For the filling
Add the vegan cream cheese and coconut cream to the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4 ounces Vegan Cream Cheese, ¼ Cup Coconut Cream
Add the powdered sugar, mint & vanilla extract and green food coloring to the cream cheese. Beat on low speed until the dry ingredients are incorporated, then turn the mixer to high speed and beat for 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl.
½ Cup Powdered Sugar, ¾ teaspoon Peppermint Extract, ½ teaspoon Vanilla, 3 drops Green Gel Food Coloring
Remove the bowl from your mixer and add the whipped cream. Gently fold it in with a spatula until the color is even.
9 ounces Vegan Whipped Cream
Pour the pie filling into your prepared pie crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Once you're ready to serve, top with additional whipped cream, chocolate curls, or crushed Oreo cookies.
