Method
Prepare the Crust
- If using a homemade crust, mix 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with 1/4 cup melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate to set.
Make the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps.
- Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to beat on medium speed. Scrape down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated.
- Fold in the peppermint extract. Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until no streaks remain.
Create the Swirl
- Divide the filling into two bowls. Leave one white. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the second bowl and stir until you reach the desired shamrock shade.
- Drop alternating spoonfuls of the white and green filling into the prepared crust.
- Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the two colors together, creating a marble effect.
Chill and Set
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to firm up.
- Optional: Drizzle with chocolate ganache before serving for extra flair.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts. Store in the refrigerator, covered, or freeze for up to one month. Thaw slightly before serving.
