How to Make Chocolate Mint Cream Cheese Pie

  1. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick spray.
  2. **Make the Crust:** Pulse 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely crumbed.
  3. Add ¼ cup melted unsalted butter to the food processor and pulse until combined.
  4. Press the cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate.
  5. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. **Make the Chocolate Ganache:** In a small saucepan, heat 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and ½ cup heavy cream over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute. Stir until completely smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  8. **Make the Cream Cheese Filling:** In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces of cream cheese with ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  10. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  11. Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the cooled chocolate ganache.
  12. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  13. Top with half of the chocolate ganache mixture.
  14. If necessary, place the pie in the freezer for 8-10 minutes to firm up before proceeding.
  15. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the chocolate layer.
  16. Swirl the remaining chocolate ganache over the top.
  17. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
