Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup green crème de menthe
- 1/2 cup crème de cacao
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until completely combined. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften. Then gently heat until the gelatin dissolves.
- Stir in the green crème de menthe and crème de cacao.
- Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly before gently folding it into the whipped cream.
- Carefully pour the creamy filling into the cooled chocolate crust and spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it sets completely.
Notes
For extra firm whipping cream, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping.
