Firmly press the Oreo mixture into an 8-inch or 9-inch pie pan, making sure to form the crust up the sides of the pan.
Set aside.
For the Ganache

Allow the ganache to cool before spreading on top of the pie crust.Refrigerate the crust with the ganache on it while you make the filling.

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and mint extract. Mix until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Fold in a small dollop of green food coloring, followed by the broken cookie pieces.Evenly spread the filling on top of the pie crust.
For the Whipped Topping
