Ingredients - Serves 8

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee in hot water. Set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the cooled coffee mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
Spread the mocha mint filling evenly over the cookie crust.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh mint leaves.
Slice and serve chilled.
