Holiday: Holiday Mint Pie

Source of Recipe

Arielle


List of Ingredients

1 cup mint flavored, chocolate sandwich cookies
3 Tbsp hot water
6oz graham cracker pie crust (or a chocolate one)
3 oz pkg cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
8oz container Cool Whip-thawed
6-10 drops green food coloring



Recipe

Mix cookies and hot water. Spoon into crust and gently spread to cover bottom. Beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually beat in sugar, milk, and extract. Fold in whipped topping. (The recipe says to split the mixture at this point and put food coloring in one. Too much work--I made the whole thing pale green) Add food coloring. Put dollops of mixture (some white, some green if you're
going that route) into crust. Smooth top with spatula.

Just before serving, make berries (cinnamon candies) and holly leaves (spearmint jelly candies) and decorate top.

Very festive and good!!!
