  • Total Time: 50 minutes plus chilling
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 prepared chocolate cookie crust
  • 1 cup peppermint schnapps (optional)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed chocolate cookies
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by crushing chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sealed bag and rolling pin.
  2. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated, then press firmly into the bottom of a pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form using a stand mixer or hand whisk.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, and peppermint schnapps if using. Mix well.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the peppermint schnapps.
  • Use fresh mint leaves steeped in warm water as an alternative to extract for a more vibrant mint flavor.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
