Time 3h28m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

14 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®), crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
24 large marshmallows
½ cup milk
¼ cup green creme de menthe liqueur
2 tablespoons creme de cacao
2 drops green food coloring, or as needed
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix crushed cookies with melted butter to make the crust. Pat onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Heat marshmallows and milk together in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted, about 8 minutes. Stir in creme de menthe, creme de cacao, and green food coloring until smooth.
  • Immerse the bottom of the saucepan in cool water for several minutes to cool the marshmallow mixture.
  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into marshmallow mixture. Pour into pie crust and smooth the top.
  • Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until set, about 3 hours.
