Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix crushed cookies and melted butter until it looks like wet sand.

  2. Step 2

    Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Freeze the crust while you make the filling, at least 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour heavy cream into a large bowl. Whip with a mixer on medium-high until soft peaks form, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Fold in condensed milk, crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and vanilla until fully combined.

  6. Step 6

    Fold in chocolate shavings gently so they stay evenly distributed.

  7. Step 7

    Pour filling into the frozen crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  8. Step 8

    Freeze at least 4 hours or overnight until firm enough to slice.

  9. Step 9

    Let sit at room temperature 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
