If you love all things mint and chocolate, then you have to stop what you’re doing and make this 5-Ingredient Vegan Thin Mint Ice Cream Pie! It’s so easy and soooo insanely delicious.

Mint with chocolate is one of the combos ever, don’t you think? The richness of the chocolate and the cool, sweet, freshness of the mint – YUM!

So it comes as no surprise that Thin Mints are the most popular of all Girl Scout cookies, AND mint chip ice cream is one of the top selling ice cream flavors. With this Vegan Thin Mint Ice Cream Pie, both Thin Mints and mint ice cream come together to make one of the best and most crave-worthy treats ever!

Why this Recipe Works:

This dessert is so fun and perfect and refreshingly delicious… I’m honestly speechless when I think about it. You have to try it – you’ll certainly feel the same way!
Using only 5 ingredients, this pie couldn’t be easier to make.
Didn’t stock up on Thin Mints? No prob, you can still buy them HERE. Or you can use regular chocolate sandwich cookies (you’ll still get plenty of mint from the ice cream) or Mint Oreos (both the regular and Thin versions work!)
Because you’re making your own super easy version of mint ice cream, you can control how minty it is AND whether or not the ice cream is green, and – HOW green!
Need a gluten free option? Try THESE chocolate sandwich cookies. You’ll still get plenty of mint flavor from the ice cream.
This pie is such a crowd-pleaser – all of your guests will love it. Trust me on this!

Are Thin Mints really vegan?

Yes! In fact, they’re the only Girl Scout Cookie variety guaranteed to be vegan each and every time. However, in some regions, ABC Bakers make some of the cookies which are mostly vegan, so be on the lookout for these varieties and options:

Lemonades
S’mores (check to make sure they’re made by ABC Bakers)
Peanut Butter Patties (a vegan version of Tagalongs made by ABC Bakers)

If your local Girl Scouts do not sell any of the above vegan varieties (such as the case where I live), then you can order them by clicking on the cookie titles above.

Can I use a different ice cream for the filling?

Although this pie definitely goes best with either this homemade version of mint ice cream or store-bought vegan mint ice cream, a plain vanilla, chocolate chip, or cookies n’ cream ice cream would all work well, too.

How To Make 5-Ingredient Thin Mint Ice Cream Pie:

1. Place Thin Mints or Oreos in a food processor and add the melted non-dairy butter. Alternatively, cookies can be crushed in a resealable gallon-sized plastic food storage bag. Simply add the melted butter to the bag after the cookies have been crushed with a rolling pin or your fist.

2. Blend these two ingredients in your food processor until the cookies are crumbly. Stir to ensure there are no big cookie chunks left.

3. Pour this cookie and butter mixture into your pie pan and press on the sides and bottom of the pan to make your crust. Then, place it in the freezer while you whip up your ice cream filling.

4. Next, add your ice cream to a mixing bowl. Make sure you leave your ice cream sitting out at room temp for about 20-30 minutes beforehand so that it’s nice and soft. Note: there’s a fine line between soft and melted; you definitely don’t want completely melted ice cream as that will likely result in an icy pie. Next, add your green food coloring and mint extract and stir well to combine. Add more green coloring if you’d like a more vibrant green color, and then give it a taste and add more mint extract, a tiny bit at time, to achieve a stronger mint flavor, too!

5. Roughly chop eight Thin Mints and gently fold the pieces into your green, minty ice cream until just incorporated.

6. Remove your crust from the freezer and pour your mint ice cream filling into that crust. Smooth over the surface with a spoon, getting rid of any air bubbles.

7. Chop up two more Thin Mints and sprinkle the pieces on top. Place in your freezer for about 3 hours to chill or overnight, and then it’s ready to enjoy!

Top Tips for Making 5-Ingredient Vegan Thin Mint Ice Cream Pie:

To make a gluten free version of this pie, you can use gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies instead. You’ll still get lots of minty flavor from the ice cream.
If you don’t have Thin Mints, you can use regular or Mint Oreos, which you can buy HERE.
If you want to save those precious Thin Mints or would prefer to simplify things even more, you can absolutely use a store bought non-dairy mint chocolate chip ice cream for the filling and leave out the Thin Mint cookies used in the ice cream filling.
The food coloring is completely optional, but it definitely adds to the fun of this recipe.
To take this pie to the next level, serve with a non-dairy whipped cream. I like the Reddi Whip Coconut variety or 365 Oat Whipped Topping.
