Yesterday I told you I was going to share my friend Kerry's, mother Bernadette Lego's, recipe for Creme de Menthe Pie. I was a little intimidated to make this recipe for Kerry, since this is one of her favorite recipe's from her mom. Anyway, I apparently did a good job, because Kerry had two pieces, and the next day my son Danny ate 1/3 of the pie. He finished what was left from the night before, and just came in to ask me if I could make another pie, because he really liked it.
So here is the recipe for Creme de Menthe Pie.
Bernadette Lego's Creme de Menthe Pie
1 1/2 cups Nabisco's Famous chocolate wafer cookie crushed (about 3/4 of a box )
2 TB melted butter. You may need a little extra
2/3 cup half and half
24 large marshmellows ( not jumbo's just large )
1 oz. creme de menthe
1/2 oz creme de coco (white)
1 cup whipping cream (whipped)
Directions:
Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter, put in a pie pan and push against pan. It is pretty crumbly, just do the best you can with getting it in the pan evenly on the bottom and sides. Place in freezer. The recipe called for overnight. I am never that organized, I just put it in while I was getting the rest of the ingredients together and it was frozen enough to put the filling in fine.
Combine the marshmellows and half and half. Heat until marshmellows are melted. Set in refrigerator to cool, while you make whipped cream.
Once cooled, fold in liquor and whipped cream.
Poor into pie shell and freeze. It is ready in a couple of hours.
Serve with whipped on top.
Serves 8
I hope that you enjoy this recipe. I always love to hearing what you have to say.
Enjoy!!!

Having been awarded a Libester Blog Award by Angie at the same time as you, felt I should drop by to see what you get up to! My word, am I glad I did! That recipe sounds just scrumptious. Creme de menthe always was my favourite, especially over ice! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIn between keeping up with your family's demands for more of that Pie, might I invite you to visit us at www.ColdhamCuddliescalling.blogspot.com, where I post about the plushies I make, mend and otherwise create (some folks might say "play with") and then try to sell at www.Etsy.com/coldhamcuddlies. We'd love to see you there!
Meanwhile, will be following you: don't want to miss any more recipes!

My mother used to make this pie, too. Not very often...for some reason, she thought it was a major production to make it! Thanks for bringing back the memory. And it IS a REALLY good pie!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila,
DeleteI'm so happy that you like the recipe. It's not hard to make, but I was intimidated at first. I don't know why.
I love your memories. I think that we all have them. I remember eating it at a restaurant called The Tail of the Cock, and I loved it.
Have a great weekend.
Debi
My, my, my this looks so good. I've never had this before, but I'd sure like to try it.

Seems to be an amazing creme-pie
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of new to me and I'm very curious about the tast!:)
Hi winnie. Thanks for dropping in. I don't know if you have them in Isreal, but we have a candy called Andes Mints. It is chocolate with a thin layer of mint in the middle. I think they flavor is spearmint, definitely not peppermint. They are really good. This pie is really good. I hope you give it a try.
