Ingredients

20 Mint Oreos
½ Cup Heavy Cream
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon Mint or Crème De Menthe Extract
1 Cup Heavy Cream
⅛ Cup Powdered Sugar

Garnish:

½ Cup Heavy Cream
⅛ Cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Additional mint Oreos or Andes Mint Baking Pieces

Instructions

Crush mint Oreos in a food processor. (see note)
Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
Set aside.
In a small bowl or microwavable container, pour ½ cup Heavy Cream over 1 cup chocolate chips and ¼ teaspoon Salt.
Microwave in 20-30-second intervals to melt the chocolate chips enough to whisk smooth. (See note)
Cool to room temperature.
Whisk 2 teaspoon of mint of crème de menthe extract into the melted chocolate.
Set aside.
In a deep bowl, whip 1 Cup of heavy cream and ⅛ cup powdered sugar to stiff peaks.
Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream.
Spread over the crust.
Chill for 6 hours.
To garnish, whip the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream with ⅛ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla to stiff peaks.
Spoon or pipe onto each slice and sprinkle with Andes Mint Chips or additional mint Oreos.

Notes

If the crust is too crumbly, add 1-2 Tbs of Butter to the crumbs in the food processor.
If you heat the chocolate chips too much, the chocolate can scorch, and it will make it take forever to cool. To cool them faster, pop the bowl in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, stirring here and there while keeping an eye on it so it cools but doesn't get cold.
