Ingredients for Shamrock Mint Milkshake Pie
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust (9-inch)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp peppermint extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 drops green food coloring (adjust for color)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Chocolate shavings and whipped cream for garnish
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This will make the pie light and airy.
Step 3: Fill the Crust
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mint filling until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared chocolate crust and spread it evenly.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For the best texture, chill overnight.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra decadence.
