I am enamored with the simplicity of this no-bake pie method. -- It's the
simplicity of simply melting some chocolate and stirring it into Cool Whip,
spooning the mixture into a prepared crust, and letting it set up.
Can a great tasting pie truly be that easy?
Oh, yes. Yes, it can. And I found that out in the classic
No-Bake Hershey's Chocolate Bar Pie
I posted a while back.
Once I had whipped up that delicious no-bake chocolate bar pie, I just had to try out the method with another melt-and-stir-into-Cool-Whip pie experiment.
Made with just four ingredients and very simple prep, this minty deliciousness can be made in a flash.
So I turned to the grocery store candy aisle for inspiration. Yes, I actually walked up and down the grocery store candy aisle asking myself, "What else can I melt into a pie?!?" I'm sure people were giving me strange looks because I was lingering in front of candy shelves for what seemed like a ridiculously long time.
But I was thinking. And creating in my mind.
I landed on Andes Creme de Menthe Thins. You know the super tasty mint thins wrapped in bright green foil? "Mmmm, hmmmm," I thought, "these will melt up perfectly!"
And melt perfectly, they did.
Absolutely perfectly to create this delectable No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie.
No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie Ingredients:
This super tasty Mint Chocolate Chip Pie comes together with just 4
ingredients. To whip one up, you'll need:
- Prepared chocolate crumb pie crust - A 9-inch Oreo pie crust works perfectly.
- Cool Whip - Forms the creamy base of the pie. One and half 12-ounce tubs is the perfect amount for nicely filling the crust.
- Andes Creme de Menthe thins - Creates the mint and chocolate flavor of the pie. One 4.67-ounce package Andes Creme de Menthe thins (which is a total of 28 mints) is needed.
- Mini chocolate chips - Stirred into the filling itself and sprinkled on top, mini chocolate chips bring a nice bit of texture to the pie.
How to Make No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie:
Whipping up this creamy pie truly couldn't be any easier, and takes all
of about 10 minutes flat.
Start by unwrapping the Andes mints and melting them in a small saucepan
over medium-low heat.
Allow the melted mints to cool for about 2 minutes, and then pour the
melted mint-chocolate in with some Cool Whip in a mixing bowl.
Stir the melted mint-chocolate together with the Cool Whip until
they're well combined. Then, mix in some mini chocolate chips.
We love the bit of crunch the mini chocolate chips give. But if
you'd prefer a completely creamy pie, you could just leave them out.
Spoon the mixture into a prepared chocolate pie crust. Smooth it
out to fill the crust, mounding it just slightly in the center.
Sprinkle the top with some more mini chocolate chips. Break a few
extra Andes Creme de Menthe thins in half and stick the halves into
the pie along the outer edge as garnish, if you'd like.
Finally, cover the pie and refrigerate it over night, or several hours,
until it's set.
Then you're ready to dig into the fluffy minty deliciousness!
So if you've got just a few minutes to whip up dessert, give this
super easy No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie a try. Made with just four ingredients and about 10 minutes of prep,
this minty deliciousness can be made in a flash.

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I would try melting a Milky Way Bar! I would melt peanut butter. Chocolate. Chocolate and then peanut butter, in layers. Hmmmm the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI know, Linda, right?! ... Seriously, the possibilities are mind-boggling! Love the Milky Way Bar idea. And I really want to try melting Reese Cups. I'm really wondering if that would give a different flavor than straight-up peanut butter and chocolate, or if it would be the same. I'm a curious girl.
