This was tasty. I used a premade cookie crust, so I ended up with excess filling. I put it in the freezer in a container, then mixed it with fresh whipped cream. I topped each pie piece with a dollop of the whip cream and some andes mint candy pieces. Yum! My mom used a recipe that included gelatin when I was kid that did not require freezer time and held up better for serving. This was very tasty, but I prefer the texture of the one using gelatin.

Cool and refreshing and so easy to whip up. I made this for a co-worker's birthday today and it was quickly and happily devoured. One girl said "It was crazy today and I was stressed but this pie put me in a happier place." I used crushed chocolate graham crackers for the crumbs but otherwise prepared exactly as written. DH is extremely happy with this pie!
