Chocolate Mint Pie

Ingredients:

20 Oreos

4 tablespoons butter, melted

½ cup sugar

¼ cup cornstarch

½ teaspoon salt

4 egg yolks

½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups milk

¾ cup milk chocolate chips

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

1 teaspoon mint extract

Whipped cream

Andes mint pieces

Method:

Place Oreos into a large zip lock bag smash with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Place into a pie plate. Add the melted butter, stir until well moistened. Press down firmly to form the crust. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and vanilla. Whisk until well combined. In a large pot heat the milk until hot but not boiling. Whisk half of the hot milk into the sugar mixture, until smooth. Whisk that back into the rest of the milk in the pot. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until it boils and thickens. Remove from the heat; add in the chocolate chips and cocoa powder, whisk until melted. Add in the mint extract, stir to combine. Pour into the prepared crust, place plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pie to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Top with whipped cream and Andes mint pieces. Enjoy!
