No-Bake Mint Chocolate Cream Pie – A thick Oreo crust filled with a deliciously minty mousse filling, and topped with a homemade whipped cream. The PERFECT no-bake dessert for your Christmas table!
No-Bake Mint Chocolate Cream Pie
Wanna know what I did with some of my leftover Mint Chocolate Bark? I topped this incredibly delicious No-Bake Mint Chocolate Cream Pie with it of course!
Double the minty-ness… Mmmm.
First, we have the Oreo crust. I used a LOT of Oreo crumbs to make a thick crust that goes right up the sides of the pie dish. It’s the perfect crust for this mint chocolate pie.
Next up is the mint chocolate filling. This mousse filling is super creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth, and is so full of flavour. You’ll be eating this by the spoonful before it even reaches the Oreo crust!
And finally the whipped cream topping. This homemade whipped cream with a hint of vanilla pairs perfectly with the mousse filling. Each mouthful is just so creamy, and very moreish. I won’t judge you for going for seconds. 😉
Who wants a nice, big slice?? ↓
Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this pie. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
For the Crust:
- Oreo cookies
- Unsalted butter
For the Filling:
- Chocolate: Milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
- Heavy cream
- Peppermint extract
- Vanilla extract
- Cream cheese: Softened.
For the Topping:
- Heavy cream
- Icing/powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
How to make No-Bake Mint Chocolate Cream Pie
To make this pie, simply mix together the Oreo crumbs and melted butter.
Press the crumbs into a greased 9-inch pie dish, or springform pan, and refrigerate whilst preparing the filling.
For the filling, add the chocolate, and 1 cup (240ml) of the heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
Stir in the mint and vanilla extract, and allow the melted chocolate to cool completely.
Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip the remaining 2 cups (480ml) of heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the cream cheese and whip to stiff peaks.
Gently fold in the melted chocolate.
Spoon the filling into the crust, and gently spread out evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before topping.
For the topping, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add the icing sugar, and vanilla, and whip to stiff peaks.
Top the chocolate mousse layer with the whipped cream.
You can top this mint chocolate pie off with whatever you fancy. Chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, Mint Chocolate Bark, or just leave it as it is! It’s delicious either way. 🙂

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

- super quick and easy to throw together
- incredibly creamy
- full of minty flavour
- perfect for parties and special occasions!
How long will this no-bake pie last? This pie can be covered tightly and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Can I freeze this pie? Yes, it also freeze well, covered, for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
