Chocolate Chip Mint Pie

Once again I am making "Chocolate Chip Mint something"....hope you love it as much as I do! This dessert will compliment any summer meal, inside at the dining room table or outside at the family barbecue. Its light, (but not a low calorie kind of "light") and cool and refreshing, just right to sit outside and eat as you watch the sunset. Enjoy your last few weeks of the summer sunshine by making and eating this yummy dessert.

Chocolate Chip Mint Pie

1 pre-made Oreo or Chocolate crust

1 1/2 c. COLD milk (2% or whole)

1 t. peppermint extract

1 pkg. pistachio flavored instant pudding

2 c. thawed whipped topping

1 c. chopped semi-sweet chocolate chips

Beat milk, peppermint extract and pudding on high, for 2 minutes. Stir in whipped topping and chocolate chips by hand. Spread into prepared chocolate crust and freeze for 6 hours or until firm. Remove 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly before cutting. Serve and enjoy!

Happy Cooking~
