Frozen Mint Chocolate Pie Food

FROZEN MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch spring-form pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cookies until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until moistened. Press the crumb mixture into the prepared pan, using the bottom of a measuring cup to press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes then cool completely. Cover and freeze the crust until ready to use.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the ice cream ingredients except the chocolate chips until the sugar is dissolved. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. About 5 minutes before the ice cream is done churning, add the chocolate chips.
• Spread the ice cream into the pie crust. Press plastic wrap against the surface of the ice cream and freeze for at least one hour, or until firmed.
• Place the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Place the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate and add the butter. Let stand for 3 minutes before stirring until smooth and shiny. Let cool slightly before pouring over the ice cream. Freeze until firmed, about 3 hours or overnight.
• The pie can be stored wrapped in plastic in the freezer for up to 1 week. The colder the pie is, the easier to will be to cut nice clean pieces of pie.

SKINNY FROZEN MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP PIE

Steps:

• First, make the Oreo cookie crust: Crush the mint Oreos into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix the crushed Oreo crumbs and melted butter together. It may look like there is not enough butter, but it will come together. Place into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing the crumbs onto the bottom and up the sides as much as it will fit. Try to make the crust 1/8 inch thick all around. It does not have to be perfect. Set in the freezer as you make the filling.
• Mix the softened cream cheese, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. I used an electric mixer for ease, but a rubber spatula or wooden spoon would do the trick. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
• Remove pie crust from the freezer and layer 1/2 of the pie filling onto the crust. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the Andes Mint baking chips. Layer with the rest of the pie filling, swirling to make it completely smooth on top. Top with chocolate syrup and remaining Andes Mint baking chips.
• Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. 20 minutes before serving, remove from the freezer and let sit out to gently thaw. This made the pie much easier to cut. I topped with more chocolate syrup before serving, but that is completely optional.

MINT CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Place margarine, corn syrup and chocolate chips in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
• Add KELLOGG'S® COCOA KRISPIES® cereal to chocolate mixture. Stir until cereal is coated. With back of spoon, shape mixture evenly in bottom and on side of 9-inch pie pan coated with cooking spray. (If mixture is too soft, refrigerate about 5 minutes). Chill crust.
• Combine gelatin and water in small saucepan. Let stand 1 minute. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat.
• In large mixing bowl, combine marshmallow creme, flavoring, color and warm gelatin, mixing until smooth. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping.
• Spoon filling into chilled crust. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Serve garnished with additional whipped topping and chocolate curls, if desired

FROZEN CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine 1 cup of confectioner's sugar with the butter on the low speed of a mixer until fluffy.
• Blend in the chocolate and vanilla.
• Then, on high speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
• Pour into the prepared pie shell and cover with plastic wrap.
• Freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
• For easier cutting, remove the pie from the freezer 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
• When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap.
• Then, in a chilled bowl, beat the whipping cream and 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar until stiff.
• Pile decoratively onto the pie, and top with garnish if desired.
• NOTE: I have found my small hand-held mixer works better for this than my stronger tabletop model.
• If you use a tabletop mixer, be careful you don't overmix.
• This pie should be thick, dense and creamy, and overbeating the eggs will give it a more mousse-like texture.
• It's by no means bad that way, but it is much better when the consistency is thick.
