Ingredients:

2. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until set. Allow to cool completely.
4. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
5. In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, mint extract, and cocoa powder until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
6. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the pie.

Tips:

• For a more intense mint flavor, you can use peppermint extract instead of mint extract.
• To make the pie even more indulgent, you can top it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings before serving.
• If you don't have a chocolate cookie crust, you can use a regular graham cracker crust or a store-bought pre-made crust.
