Steps:
- Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize. (Or, if you have some aggression or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin!) Set a small handful of crumbs aside to sprinkle over the finished pie. Pour the rest into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
- Heat the marshmallow and half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it's all melted and combined, place the saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool down quickly. (Stirring occasionally will hasten this process.) Once cool, add the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Taste and add more creme de menthe if needed. Add the green food coloring if using.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream until stiff. Pour the cold marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and fold together gently. Pour the filling into the chocolate crust. Sprinkle over the reserved cookie crumbs.
- Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes or so before you want to slice and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese for a smooth and creamy filling.
- Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a lump-free filling.
- If you don't have crème de menthe, you can use 1/4 cup of peppermint extract mixed with 1/4 cup of milk.
- To make the chocolate ganache, use a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for a rich and decadent flavor.
- Make sure the pie crust is completely cooled before filling it to prevent the filling from melting.
- Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
