Grasshopper Pie – Better Homes and Gardens
7 oz marshmallow crème
¼ cup green crème de menthe
2 tablespoons white crème de cacao
2 cups whipping cream
Chocolate-Wafer Crust
1/3 c margarine or butter
1 ½ c crushed chocolate wafers
1/3 c margarine or butter
1 ½ c crushed chocolate wafers
Melt margarine. Add crushed wafers, toss to mix well. Spread mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Press onto bottom and sides to form a firm, even crust. Chill for 1 hour or till firm.
Whipped Cream (optional)
Chocolate Curls (optional)
Chill Chocolate Wafer Crust at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl combine the marshmallow crème, crème de menthe, and crème do cacao. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed till smooth. Whip cream till soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into marshmallow crème mixture. Spoon filling into chilled crust. Freeze at least 5 hours (pie will not freeze firm). Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate curls if desired.
Note : This was a nice smooth pie. Now I'm not a mint chocolate type guy, but this was nice. Not too strong a flavor, and the crust really helped provide a balance. Without the crust it would be too much.
