It’s that time of year when mint desserts start showing up every where. This Andes Mint Cheesecake Brownie Pie has an easy no bake cheesecake on top that will help you give into those mint cravings.
Ok, guys, I tried to hold out as long as I could. But then everyone starting posting mint desserts all over the place. I gave into peer pressure and made a few fun minty treats too.
I don’t know if it will become a mintapalooza here on the blog or not…depends on how crazy I let myself get. Right now I have 3 mint goodies that I can’t wait to share with you. Are you as excited as I am?
About a week ago my husband and I went out to dinner. It has been so nice now that our kids are older…no more babysitting fees on top of dinner prices. That means more perks to the date now…coffee, shopping, and froyo. As much as I miss my kids being little and needing me all the time, I have to admit I’m loving this new stage of life we have entered.
Anyway, back to dinner. We decided to go to Outback…on a Friday night. Quite possibly the worst idea on a Friday night. Lucky for us, we thought about the rush and got there just in time. You should have seen the line form as we waited for our table. The line out the door must have scared our waiter. I have never felt so rushed to eat my dinner and to get out. Oh, he didn’t say anything. But I was eating my salad and he was asking us if we wanted dessert. You guys know I’m all about dessert, but my dinner wasn’t even on the table yet. And then he brought the bill to us on when we had just started on our main course.
Now either I look like I don’t need to eat dessert, or he was rushing us out the door so they could have the table for another person to rush through their eating. I have gained a few pounds over the years, BUT I think I’ll go with just rushing.
It’s ok. We had our coffee and froyo to look forward too. And a big slice of this Andes Mint Cheesecake Brownie Pie to enjoy later.
This brownie pie is so easy to put together. A few packaged items and you are on your way to brownie and mint goodness. Brownie mixes and a refrigerated pie crust will get you on your way faster. Now I do have a homemade brownie recipe that we absolutely love in this house, but today I went with a box mix. You do what feels best to you. And even though I can make pie crust, I prefer to use Pillsbury. It’s just one of those time saving tricks that I enjoy using.
This brownie pie is slightly different from the other ones I have made before. You will make the brownies just like normal…no changes to the box directions. Then pour it into the crust in a 10 inch pie plate. Do not use a smaller pie plate. The brownie will puff up a little as it bakes, and you need the room for the no bake cheesecake.
To get that great mint taste, you need to melt down some Andes Mints. I used a bag of the mint baking pieces that they sell. And yes, I did find myself munching on a few handfuls. Andes Mints are one of my favorites, so when I have a whole bag staring at me…I can’t resist. Beat the melted chips into a package of cream cheese. Make sure you remember to set the cream cheese out earlier. If you forget, just pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. A little bit of Cool Whip added to the minty cream cheese gives it a mousse feel and taste.
Who needs factory made desserts sold at an outrageous price when you can make your own decadent dessert at home?

March 2, 2014 at 7:24 PMIt is so nice when you get a chance to do date night! I know, we just had one last week and it was so great!! But let me tell you I would have been fighting the waiter over that check, sorry I just get rageful over bad service! Lol just kidding but who likes to be rushed when they are dropping that must money on food and tip! I would have enjoyed coming home to a piece of this pie! Yum!!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 5, 2014 at 10:09 PMYeah, feeling rushed wasn’t very pleasant, but at least we had this pie waiting for us! 😉
Linda says
March 2, 2014 at 7:30 PMThis looks absolutely amazing! It is my birthday this week and I may have to make this for myself to share of course. I’d love it if you linked this to What’d You Do This Weekend,. It goes live at midnight.
Have a wonderful week,
Linda

March 2, 2014 at 8:23 PMThe cheesecake looks delicious, but I am not a mint person….I never bake anything that uses mint….my favorite cheese cake is one my daughter makes , it’s chocolate 🙂
Mary. says
March 2, 2014 at 10:52 PMMe too. I like cocolate cheesecake.
Renee @ Two in the Kitchen says

Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 5, 2014 at 10:10 PMThanks Renee!!
Rebecca {foodie with family} says
March 3, 2014 at 9:40 AMMy word. I could happily swan dive into that pie right now. I love cheesecake, brownies, and Andes mints all on their own, but you put them all together? Swoon!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 5, 2014 at 10:12 PMHaha, “swan dive” gave me a good giggle! 😉 Thanks Rebecca!!
Karly says
March 3, 2014 at 10:12 AMI hate being rushed when I’m at a restaurant. I will just sloooooooow down if I feel rushed. Haha! I’m a jerk.
Anyway, LOVE this pie! Wishing I had a slice right now!
Jenny Flake says

Lindsay @ Life, Love and Sugar says
March 3, 2014 at 10:54 AMOk, I love this pie! That brownie looks amazing and with the mint on top – my tastebuds are screaming at me! So glad you gave in to the mint pressure 🙂
And, I LOVE Outback, despite the wait. I could live off of the cheese fries. More calories than I should have in a day and so worth it.

Heather @ Sugar Dish Me says
March 4, 2014 at 9:02 AMThis pie is OUTTA CONTROL! But in the best kind of way.
I like that my kiddos are bigger now, too. It’s really nice to run out without making arrangements! I think I might have been annoyed at the server rushing me though. I mean your dessert is way better than Outback’s but still — can I eat my giant loaded potato first please?! Gah.
Gorgeous recipe Jocelyn!
Jess @ On Sugar Mountain says
March 4, 2014 at 11:05 AMWoo for after-dinner froyo! Sometimes I just end up having froyo FOR dinner, but that’s besides the point. 😉 I’d love to have this brownie pie for dinner! Or I guess after dinner, if I’m being a real person who eats dinner. But maybe just this for dinner cuz it looks SO GOOD!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 5, 2014 at 10:16 PMHaha, you totally think like me!! 😉 Thanks Jess!!
Ashley | Spoonful of Flavor says
March 4, 2014 at 12:09 PMOh my, this looks divine! I love mint flavored desserts and would love a slice of this pie!
Chels R. says
March 4, 2014 at 3:38 PMIt looks out of this world!!! I love the occasional dining out, but I HATE being rushed. I HATE being bugged by a waiter when I’m trying to enjoy a (very rare) dinner date out. That happened to me while we were at Olive Garden when I was pregnant with Christian. I was so craving their Fett. Alfredo and the waitress would not leave us along and was refilling our water every 5 secs, interrupting our conversation ever 10 secs. By the time the meal was over, I was so mad, I was practically in tears. And then we got the bill, which wanted me to do a survey…they asked for it. Two days later, I got a phone call from the manager asking for my address to send us a gift card. I never complain or leave bad remarks, but in this case, it was worth it.
Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 5, 2014 at 10:18 PMAww, poor you!! I’m glad they sent you a gift card! 🙂 Thanks Chels!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says

Renee @ Awesome on $20 says
March 16, 2014 at 3:24 AMYes!!! Mintapalooza!!!! Do it!
Mary. says
March 16, 2014 at 11:20 AMCan you tint the light brown “cheesecake” top, green for st. Patrick’s day?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
March 16, 2014 at 12:27 PMI don’t think it would work very well to tint it green because when you melt the Andes Mints down they turn brown. The green mixed with the brown wouldn’t be very appetizing! You could tint the Cool Whip green if you wanted.
