âThis is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. It came about by accident, as I put in too much mint extract. To cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, I ended up flipping the whole pie upside-down on top of a brownie crust.â Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13x9-inch pan size) |
2 egg whites |
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/2 cup baking cocoa |
1-1/2 cups fat-free milk |
2 packages (16 ounces each) large marshmallows |
1/2 teaspoon mint extract |
1 carton (16 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed |
2/3 cup oreo cookie crumbs |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg whites, applesauce and vanilla. Spread into a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
2. In a Dutch oven, combine cocoa and milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until cocoa is dissolved. Stir in marshmallows until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Cool completely.
3. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over brownies. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Cover and freeze for at least 8 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 24 servings.
