This Easy Mint Brownie Pie is the kind of dessert that wins over every crowd. A fudgy brownie base, a cool peppermint cream filling, and a silky chocolate drizzle — it’s the perfect mix of rich, refreshing, and irresistible. The first time I served this Easy Mint Brownie Pie, it became a year-round favorite. In winter, skip the green food coloring for a clean white peppermint look, or keep it for a fun, vibrant finish. Either way, this dessert delivers big flavor with minimal effort — just the HighCooking way.
