Ingredients




1 cup chocolate grahams, crushed
1 stick high quality margarine
6 cups vanilla ice cream
6 tablespoons creme de menthe
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation

1 In food processor, pulse broken chocolate grahams until finely crumbed, add melted margerine, and combine well.  Place in a 10 inch pie plate and press until crust reaches edges.  Chill crust for about 1 hour. 2 Allow ice cream to soften for about 20 minutes, place in mixing bowl, and carefully mix, gradually adding creme de menthe.  Pour into chilled crust, and chill for an hour. 3 After ice cream has chilled in crust, spread whipped cream to which sugar has been added over surface of ice cream.  Chill for at least one hour before slicing and serving.

About


This is a simple, but very pleasing dessert, especially for summer.
It is very important to use margarine rather than butter to make crust, as butter causes the crust to be difficult to slice when serving.
