Description
A creamy, minty no-bake dessert that captures the flavor of your favorite Shamrock Shake in a sliceable pie form, perfect for any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 full sheets graham crackers
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 0.5 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 2.5 cups cold milk
- 0.25 tsp green food coloring (gel preferred)
- 2 tsp mint extract
- 1 box (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by pulsing the graham crackers and brown sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish evenly and freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- Whisk together the cold milk, food coloring, and mint extract in a large bowl. Gradually add instant pudding mix and whisk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until smooth.
- Spoon the green filling into the frozen crust and smooth the top. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream, cherries, or chocolate shavings if desired, and serve cold.
Notes
For best results, chill all ingredients before preparation and press the crust firmly into the dish for a sturdy base.
