Dirty Dessert 25 Oreos, crushed fine 1 lb. mini marshmallows 3/4 c. milk 2 c. whipping cream 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract green food coloring Combine marshmallows and milk in saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Or melt in microwave on high, stirring at 1 minute intervals, until melted and smooth. Cool to room temperature. Beat cream with extract and 2-3 drops coloring until stiff peaks form. It should have a light mint flavor and be a light minty green color. Beat marshmallow mixture to smooth it then fold in the cream until no lumps of cream remain. Press half of crumbs in bottom of 11 x 7 or 9 x 9 baking dish. Gently spread marshmallow mixture over the crumbs, by dropping it by spoonfuls over the crumbs and then spreading it out. Top evenly with remaining crumbs. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. This is a nice light dessert. Do not try to substitute other cookies; they just don*t have the same color or flavor. I tried it one time and it just wasn*t the same. The the only time I buy Oreo cookies is when I want to make this recipe. Also, you must use whipping cream or a non-dairy cream that you can whip. Cool Whip or other frozen topping does not work; it comes out heavy and creamy instead of light and fluffy. I often make this at Christmas in my tree-shaped pan. It would look great in a shamrock-shaped pan. You can use that other half bag of marshmallows in the following recipe.
