Recipe Introduction


It may become obvious on reading this recipe how many possible variations can be made.





List of Ingredients



• 1/3 cup reduced cream
  
• 4 shortcrust pastry tart shells
  
• 12 marshmallows
  
• 50g dark chocolate (chopped)
  
• 1 litre icecream (chocolate, coffee or vanilla was recommended-I would try mint)
  
• 1/4 cup pecan nuts
  
• 1 tsp creme de menthe
  
• 1 tsp creme de cacao
  
• 4 icecream wafers
  






Instructions



1. Bring cream to boil in a saucepan. Whisk in the chocolate until melted.
   
2. Cool and stir in liqeurs (this is the grasshopper sauce)
   
3. Arrange a scoop of icecream (or one of each flavour), 3 marshmallows and some pecan nuts in each pastry shell.
   
4. Drizzle with grasshopper sauce and garnish with a wafer. Serve immediately (of course)
   






Final Comments


I might garnish with a fresh mint leaf if I had it, or coffee beans or strawberries. Would also be nice with banana or mango
