Ingredients

For the Pie Crust

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon mint extract
1 cup chocolate chips
Green food coloring (optional)

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mint extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Fold in the chocolate chips and a few drops of green food coloring if desired.

Assemble the Pie

Spoon the mint filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.

Garnish with additional chocolate chips or mint leaves before serving, if desired.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Mint Chocolate Chip Pie, consider serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The creaminess complements the minty filling beautifully, creating a delightful balance of flavors. You can also garnish the pie with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings for an added touch of elegance.

For a fun twist, try pairing it with a refreshing mint-infused iced tea or a rich hot chocolate. The pairing will enhance the overall experience and create a delightful harmony between the flavors.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (which is unlikely!), storing this pie is quite simple. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days, allowing you to enjoy its delightful flavors even after the initial serving.

To revive the pie if it has been stored for a couple of days, simply let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. This will restore its creamy texture and enhance the flavors, making it taste as good as when it was freshly made.
