Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the marshmallows with the milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the crème de menthe and crème de cacao. Add green food coloring if desired.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or mint leaves if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
