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

- 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

- 1/4 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.

Not worth the effort, overall disappointing. The pie never really set (even the next day when I had a little of the leftovers), it was always too drippy. I thought it tasted boozy and artificial. The CL recipe for peanut butter pie was much better (http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1654712). I will not make this again.04/26/09

I used crushed Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies (same amount as called for) for the crust and it was delicious. My guests didn't believe me when I told them it was a lightened recipe. I'll definitely make this again.04/15/08
