Frozen Grasshopper Pie image

When I first started experimenting with cream pies, this seemed like the right recipe to create for a house of chocolate lovers. I guessed right. This is more of an adult New Year's Eve pie, but some have made it for Christmas dessert-served after the kids have gone to bed! -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

I'm not a fan of chocolate mint, so I substituted vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out right. The crust was soggy and the filling was icy.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of mint, but I'm so glad I did! The mint flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced by the chocolate and ice cream.
