Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Firmly and evenly press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake the crust for 7 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, combine the green food coloring and ½ cup heavy cream. If using green food coloring, make the color a little stronger. It will become lightened when you add the remaining ingredients.
- Heat the cream and food coloring until bubbles begin to form around the edges and it begins to steam. Stir until the food coloring is fully incorporated.
- Remove the cream from the heat and add in the white baking chips. Whisk until melted. Set aside to cool.
- Place a large bowl in the freezer to chill for at least 5 minutes.
- In the bowl, combine the remaining ¾ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of Confectioners Swerve, and mint extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
- Place the softened cream cheese and xylitol in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
- With the mixer running, pour in the melted white chocolate mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Fold the chilled whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture followed by the ½ cup chopped semi-sweet baking chips.
- Pour into the cooled crust and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, pour the 1 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan and place over medium heat.
- Heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges, then remove from the heat.
- Add the ¼ cup semi-sweet baking chips and whisk until smooth.
- Cut the pie and drizzle with the chocolate. Alternatively, the chocolate drizzle can be placed in a piping bag and piped on top of the pie.
- Serve immediately.
