Worthy of a Special Occasion

This deceptively rich dessert offers a refreshing minty contrast to a grilled dinner.

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  chocolate wafer crumbs (about 20 cookies; such as Nabisco's Famous Chocolate Wafers)
  • 2  tablespoons  butter, melted
  • 2  tablespoons  1% low-fat milk
  • 1  (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
  • 1/4  cup  green crème de menthe
  • 2  tablespoons  white crème de cacao
  • 1  (8-ounce) container frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
  • 3  cups  vanilla low-fat ice cream, softened
  • 2  teaspoons  chocolate syrup

Preparation

Combine crumbs and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until moist. Press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill.

Combine milk and marshmallow creme in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 1 minute, stirring once. Add crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and whipped topping, stirring until blended. Spread ice cream into prepared pan; top with marshmallow mixture. Freeze at least 6 hours. Drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
