Thin Mint Pie

Sharing is caring!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always looked forward to Girl Scout Season for one simple reason: Thin Mints. Although they aren’t the most sophisticated of cookies, they remind me of my dad and his lifelong love affair with these crisp, chocolate bites of minty goodness. I remember him ordering huge quantities of cookies and shoving our freezer full of those green boxes.

When we were kids, Jared and I much preferred the peanut butter sandwich cookies and could easily polish off an entire box in one afternoon. In fact, those Do-si-dos are one of the only ways that I am able to down milk without it being poured on cereal.

As I grew older, my tastes sophisticated (hah!) and chocolate with mint has become one of my favorite ways to enjoy chocolate. So when my co-worker presented me his daughter’s Girl Scout order form, I took a cue from my dad and decided to stock pile some Thin Mints in hopes of using them as a base for a few desserts here on MBA. Yeah, I’m pretty certain that I bought more than I’ll actually incorporate into baked goods, but it’s pretty easy to write a check when it means support for a good cause. I’ve actually tried it hide the remaining cookies from myself, but that’s not working out so well… I can’t imagine why!

This pie truly couldn’t be more simple. It’s a no bake recipe, which is always a bonus when a weekday craving hits. This Thin Mint Pie recipe starts out with a Thin Mint crust which is a seriously amazing foundation for a layer of cream cheese filling that is brimming with chopped Thin Mint Cookies. Top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream a few more cookie crumbs and you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a slice of minty bliss.

Thin Mint Pie

Ingredients:

45 Thin Mint Cookies, divided use
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, room temperature

8 ounces thawed Cool Whip Topping

Directions:

1. Place 24 Thin Mints into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cookies have been crushed into fine crumbs; mix with butter until well blended.

2. Press firmly onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate crust while preparing filling.

3. Coursely chop the remaining (21) cookies; set aside. Beat cream cheese and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add chopped cookies and whipped topping; folding gently until well blended. Spoon into prepared crust.

4. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm. Garnish with whipped topping and additional cookie crumbs.

This looks delicious- we have a similar cookie pie, but instead of using girl scout thin mints for the crust, we use a butter cookie crust and then the topping is a layer of thin mint cream. Still, will have to try this recipe to compare- thanks for sharing!

As a Girl Scout leader we always have lots of Thin Mints around during cookie season. I have made Thin Mint brownies adding half a box of Thin Mints crushed up into a box brownie mix. Can't wait to try this recipe!!

You have absolutely no idea how happy you just made me. Anything that involves thin mints, cream cheese, AND coolwhip must be heavenly.
