Ingredients
- 12 graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- ½ teaspoon mint extract
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
- 16 drops green food coloring (or more to desired shade)
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: crush graham crackers, mix with brown sugar and melted butter, press into a 9-inch pie dish, and chill.
- In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes; let set for 5 minutes.
- Add mint extract and green food coloring, mixing until evenly colored.
- Fold in thawed whipped topping until smooth.
- Spread the filling over the chilled crust.
- Top with whipped cream and, if desired, additional green food coloring for a vibrant finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Tip: For a dairy-free version, use coconut whipped topping and almond milk. You can substitute the graham cracker crust with an Oreo cookie crust for a chocolatey twist. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the pie may soften slightly but remains delicious. Serve chilled and garnish with extra mint leaves for extra flair.
