My review
Chocolate Mint Pie
Jan Bittner
"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. Patrick's Day treat. Vanilla ice cream can be substituted for the mint chocolate chip."

Use a good quality mint ice cream. A food torch on the meringue before serving makes it easy. Kids will eat this up.
