These retro-fun green pies use a couple of clever shortcuts: jarred marshmallow crème in the filling and store-bought chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust. After setting up in the freezer, the oh-so-cute, minty treats are ready to serve.

Ingredients

1/4 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups marshmallow crème (we used Marshmallow Fluff)
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp heavy cream
1 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
6 to 8 drops green food coloring
12 chocolate sandwich cookies, roughly chopped, plus more, crumbled, for topping
Melted dark chocolate, for drizzling

Directions

1. Step 1In medium saucepan, heat milk on medium until steaming. Add marshmallow crème and butter and whisk to melt. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons heavy cream, both extracts, and food coloring. Transfer to medium bowl, cover and refrigerate until no longer warm to the touch, 40 to 45 minutes.
2. Step 2Line 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners and divide chopped cookies among liners. Once marshmallow mixture is cool, using stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat remaining 3/4 cup heavy cream on medium-high until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold a large spoonful of whipped cream into marshmallow mixture until no streaks remain, then fold in remaining whipped cream until combined.
3. Step 3Dollop cream mixture into prepared liners and smooth tops. Freeze until set, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. When ready to serve, drizzle pies with dark chocolate and top with crumbled cookies if desired. Pies are best served chilled (they will melt as they sit out).
