Answer 1

Here is how I would do it.

1 choc crust- no bake premade or made with oreo's

1-8oz pkg cream cheese softened

1 bag andies mints

green food coloring optional

1 lg conatiner whipped cream (or 1 small choc whipped cream and 1 small plain whipped cream)

Melt about 1/2 the bag of mints in the microwave (do it slowly so they don't burn). Mix well into the cream cheese. Fold in 1/2 the cool whip (or the choc one). Chop up the remaining mints and fold into the whipped cream/cream cheese mix. Add green food coloring if you want. Pour into the pie shell and refridgerate for a couple of hours. Top with more plain whipped cream.

Answer 3

1 box brownie mix

1 quantity of mint mousse *below

1 cup semi-sweet choc chips 1/4 cup milk, or cream, or half and half

1 package andes mints

Mix brownies according to package directions. Pour into a lightly greased springform pan and bake according to package directions.

Mint mousse:

1 cup chopped andes mints (better to use the mostly green ones for color)

6 eggs, separated

3/4 cup heavy cream

In microwave, for about 15 sec, melt the mints set up a double boiler on the stove (best to use a metal bowl.) place egg yolks on top of double boiler and whisk using a wire whisk until pale yellow and frothy. add melted mints and mix until combined. The mix will get stiff.

In a separate bowl, using a hand blender, whisk egg whites until stiff. fold the egg whites into the mint and egg yolk mixture a little bit at a time. Next, whip up the heavy cream with a hand-held blender until thick. Fold this a little at a time into the egg and chocolate mix. Top the cooled brownie with the mousse mixture and leave to set in the refrigerator.

Next, heat the cream, milk, or half & half in a pan on the stove. (Non-stick pans work best) Add the chocolate chips and melt and continually stir over a low heat until you have a chocolate sauce. Top the cooled pie with the chocolate sauce. Decorate with andes mints.

Also, if you wish, you can crush more andes mints and when the pie is set and chilled, brush the sides with melted chocolate and press on the crushed mints.
