If you know one thing about me it should be that I love ice cream more than I love anything or anyone else. Sorry, mom but it’s true…![]()
And if you want to know 2 things about me… Well, then you need to buy me a double shot of vodka and I’ll spill secrets faster than a TMZ reporter.
Word of advice: Don’t buy me more than 4 shots unless you’re willing to bail me out of a Mexican prison. Long story. Don’t judge. ![]()
Anyway, back to the desserts…
Today is PI Day, but I wasn’t very excited about it because I don’t like pie. Sad, right?
Yep, I’m a cake girl all the way.
I don’t like pie because 9 times outta 10 they are fruity. No thanks. My dessert has to have chocolate or it’s just a snack.
So in honor of International Pi Day I created this super easy Mint N’ Chip Pie recipe to satisfy all my chocolate and ice cream lovin’ needs.
Easy Mint N’ Chip Pie Recipe
Voskos Greek Yogurt actually contacted me to make a recipe with their yogurt a while back, so I’ve been cooking up this gem in my brain for weeks. I love incorporating Greek yogurt into dessert recipes because the added protein helps give it some staying power and keep ya full! Double duty dessert ![]()
Ingredients:
-
2.25 cups Greek Yogurt
-
1 package sf Cheesecake or Vanilla Pudding Mix
-
1/2 tsp Peppermint extract
-
Green Food Coloring
-
Mini Chocolate Chips
-
Pie crust (preferably the chocolate one)
-
Cool Whip
Directions: Mix yogurt and pudding mix thoroughly. Add peppermint and green food coloring to desired taste/color.![]()
Spread in pie crust. Top with container of Cool Whip. ![]()
Sprinkle with chocolate chips on top and place in freezer for at least 1 hour to set. Take out of freezer about 20-30 minutes before serving to let soften. (Not too long or it gets runny.)![]()
Enjoy!
Listen, you didn’t get to vote for the pope, but you do get to vote for this -
POLL: Cake OR Pie?

I’m not a huge cake fan, but I also don’t care for the fruity pies either. I love me some ice cream pie, or cake, or like chocolate cream pie. Mmmm!
Cake is better than pie, but I’m not in the habit of turning down either.
Cake or pie – both work for me! Your pie looks yum!
Dairy queen ice crem cake all the way!
Cake. no question about it. Fudge cake. Ice cream allowed on the side. I like to dip my cake in ice cream.
cake. ice cream cake.
DUDE. That looks delish. Did Ben try it? Did he suspect the Greek yogurt? My hubs says Greek Yogurt ‘tastes like feet’–wondering if I can pull a fast one on him..I love it so! Om nom nom Mint!
That pie looks awesome! It’s like a Shamrock Shake in pie form!
I voted pie because as much as I love cake, I’m not a huge fan of frosting, and Whole Foods has the best Michican Four Berry Pie that I’ve ever ate in my life.
And pumpkin pie, and apple pie, and Reece’s peanut butter pie, and French Silk pie….yum, pie.
That pie looks life changing. I think it could kick a Shamrock Shake in the butt. Of course, the only way to tell is to try both this weekend
Cake!! More specifically, cupcakes… and if they are funfetti cupcakes I will just eat every single one in sight and die happy.
Pie. Unless it is pound cake or coffee cake. Both of which I now want.
The Kidless Kronicles
cake all the way! but that pie looks amazing. I would definitely eat plenty of that.
I actually considered having pie at my wedding instead of cake. No need for either when you elope though!
uhm YUM! I love mint chocolate chip ice cream pies! I’ll have to try this healthier version out
I’m not a huge cake or pie fan but I love mint flavored anything so I’ll take either please
Looks delish!
My youngest daughter chose a Key Lime pie instead of a cake for her 11th birthday last year. It’s her absolute favorite!
I wil def be making this!! I love all things mint. I usually prefer cake but am a sucker for pecan chocolate pie or pumpkin pie. No self control.
Mexican prison? I think RER either parties hard or goes home!
I am not one to get excited about recipes (I’m just a not a cook) but I’m actually excited to try this one out. Those are all things I love too (mint, chocolate, cool whip, etc) and I think I might actually be able to succeed at this. Thanks!
CAKE, I’m like you and don’t care for pie one bit. The pie you made does sound and look good though so great job!
I made a cherpumple for a Christmas party this year- it was a hit! (look it up on youtube if you don’t know what this is…)
Cake. Always cake. Almost always chocolate cake. Tipped on its side and eaten from the bottom up, so those last few bites are basically mega-frosting. Mmm…and although I’m am firmly Team Cake, I will say your mint pie looks totally delicious.
That’s like Sophie’s choice!! I’m all about dessert equality, I leave no dessert behind.
My nana has a tasty no sugar added chocolate pie I like, but I’m an ice cream girl: Blue Bell Mint Chocolate Chip. Best. Ever.
Pie all the way! I am not a fan of frosting.
Oh man, I love cake! I did make cupcakes with mini pumpkin pies in them once!!!

Both! And my absolute fav is the pie crust! Ok, I’m a carb gal!
Pie. The only cake I like is carrot because of the cream cheese frosting. My kids have been known to request any dessert but cake in their birthdays.
This looks FAB!!! I am totes sharing on my Fan Page!! <3 Ohh and I can't decide, BOTH!! And I might have to make this for my own bday on Wednesday! ~Abigail
Chocolate is my first love, but I definitely love fruit pies too! Apple and blueberry are my favorite. Pumpkin and pecan pie are awesome too. I bought a pie crust to make quiche this weekend, but maybe it will turn into dessert instead…
I prefer cake. Not much of a mint dessert admirer, however that looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect pie for Pi Day
Cake or pie? Depends on the flavor being presented to me.
But the BEST (in my opinion) is an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. They are to die for. 10 times better than the ones at Baskin Robbins.
