So here is my green recipe tribute to St. Patricks Day! ……..
Yeah I know it isnt the most intense green color, but at least I tried! ha This pie was amazingly delish. I found it off of Joy in my Kitchen. What a great food blog she has! She must have used a lot more green food coloring than she says in her recipe because her version looks way greener than mine! Who cares, it was really good and that’s all that matters. It looks deceiving because you would think this is made of ice cream, but it isn’t. It is marshmallow fluff, whip cream and milk all mixed together with some peppermint extract. Very easy. Very good. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed! : )
P.S. I am FINALLY printer-friendly! At the end of each post/recipe there is a green ‘printer-friendly’ button so you can print off the recipe! : )
FROZEN MINT OREO PIE
8 servings
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies, divided
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- One (7 oz) jar Marshmallow Fluff
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 drops (1/2 tsp) peppermint extract
- 3 to 4 drops Green food coloring
Directions: Reserve 2 Tablespoons of crushed Oreos for the topping, Set aside. Combine the remaining Oreo cookie crumbs and butter together. Press into a deep-dish 9-inch pie plate.
Beat the whipping cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer. Beat on high for at least 5 to 8 minutes, or until its fluffy and thick. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, combine marshmallow fluff and milk. Mix well. Blend in peppermint extract and food coloring.
Fold in the whipped cream.
Spread on top of the Oreo crust. Top with remaining cookie crumbs. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours or overnight!

I mean, oreos are good enough..but in pie form it would be perfect!

It’s a beautiful mint green and I’m loving this!! I hope you have a great weekend!!
Oh wow! This is one of the best Irish themed dishes I’ve seen – because it’s subtlely green, not garishly so (I prefer my food to look natural). Any excuse for an oreo cookie and I’m there!!
Holly- Your pie looks so yummy! I love it 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
