This pie has a chocolate cookie crust and an ice cream filling, but the creme de menthe meringue topping is what makes it special. It is a perfect St. Patricks day treat. Vanilla ice cream can be substituted for the mint chocolate chip. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1 quart mint chocolate chip ice cream |
4 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur |
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies |
3 egg whites |
salt to taste |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 teaspoons creme de menthe liqueur |
1/3 cup white sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs and melted butter or margarine. Press firmly over bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie pan. Freeze.
2. Spread half of softened ice cream in crust. Drizzle 2 tablespoons creme de menthe and sprinkle 1/2 cup cookie crumbs over the ice cream. Repeat. Freeze till firm.
3. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar, and beat until slightly stiff. Gradually beat in sugar until peaks form. Fold in 2 teaspoons creme de menthe. Spread meringue over pie, and seal to edges. Freeze up to 24 hours.
4. Just before serving, broil until top is golden.
