This recipe is from my friend Donna,she gave me this recipe and it was printed in Book 2. It is so good- I love the taste of mint in this pie, so refreshing after a heavy meal or with tea just to let it melt in your mouth.

I'm not a huge fan of mint, but I really enjoyed this pie. The mint flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced by the chocolate.
