Grasshopper Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 9- inch size graham cracker pie shell
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup lemonade
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup green creme de menthe
  • 1/3 creme de cacao
  • 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 drops green food coloring optional

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle gelatin over lemonade and let soften about 5 minutes. Pour gelatin mixture and sugar into saucepan and heat, stirring until gelatin dissolves.
  2. Beat egg yolks until frothy and stir into gelatin mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon until mixture begins to thicken and coats back of spoon. Do not overcook or eggs will curdle.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in liqueurs and peppermint extract.
  4. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold into egg mixture. Chill until mixture begins to set.
  5. Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until soft peaks form and fold into mixture. Spoon into prepared pie shell and chill until firm, about 3 hours. Top with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired.

Recipe Notes

May substitute 1 9-inch flaky, baked pie crust, fully cooled
