RecipeNut, this is so delicious. I followed the directions exactly and wouldn't change a thing. Cool and minty. Creamy and luscious. A wonderful dessert for the hot summertime. Thanks :)

I have to admit that I did mine a little bit different, as I made mine sugar-free. I also substituted 1/4 C Creme de Menthe for the mint flavoring and put it into a crust made from sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies. It was great! Either way you should try this recipe. I will be making this again!

I did only half the whipping cream and powdered sugar, doubled the mint, and used chopped hersheys' kisses. It chilled much more quickly than 3 hours and was delicious!

I crushed a box of thin mint cookies and used a fork to moisten with about 4T melted butter, patted this into the pie pan and froze. The recipe made WAY too much filling for a 9" pie pan in my opinion, but the filling is so tasty I am chilling it along with the pie to serve as a custard!

Not good. It wouldn't fluff up, even after a solid five minutes on slow. came out like liquid. Make sure to freeze your bowls before using this, it will most likely help. It had potential, but didnt work out
