Preparation

Step 1

Reserve 8 candies then chop the remaining candies and place in a large bowl.

Add ice cream, crème de menthe, and food color; mix well then spoon into pie crust.

Place reserved candies around edge of ice cream mixture, pressing until candies are halfway into the ice cream.

Cover and freeze at least 4 hours, or until firm. Slice and serve.

If you’d prefer to make this without the liqueur, you can substitute 1 teaspoon mint extract for the crème de menthe to get the desired minty flavor. And, for extra richness, garnish with whipped cream.
