Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a bowl, mix crushed Oreo cookie halves and 6 tablespoons of butter.

A small handful of the crumbs should hold together when squeezed. If it crumbles apart, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds together. Pat into the bottom and up sides of a 10-inch pie dish.

Press firmly with the bottom of a cup to tamp down and compact the crust into the pie dish. Bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes; remove from oven and cool completely. Once cooled, place in the freezer to chill.
-
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until steaming, but not boiling. Add the marshmallows and stir gently until the marshmallows have melted.
-
Remove the pan from heat and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge until cool to the touch.
-
Add creme de menthe and creme de cacao to the cooled marshmallow mixture, and mix well. Add a drop or two of green food dye if desired.
-
With a hand mixer or a stand mixer, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the milk and marshmallow mixture in 3 separate additions. Continue folding and gently mixing until no more streaks of white remain.
-
Pour into chilled pie shell. Freeze for at least 3 hours or overnight.
-
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings, if desired. Enjoy!
