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…thriftys ice cream thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

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. papas and beer ensenada thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

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!

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
  • \IMG 1525 640x427 thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

Directions: Mix yogurt and pudding mix thoroughly. Add peppermint and green food coloring to desired taste/color.IMG 1527 640x427 thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

Spread in pie crust. Top with container of Cool Whip. IMG 1529 640x427 thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

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.)IMG 1532 640x427 thumb Easy Mint n’ Chip Pie Recipe

Enjoy!

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. no question about it. Fudge cake. Ice cream allowed on the side. I like to dip my cake in ice cream.

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 ;)

Pie. Unless it is pound cake or coffee cake. Both of which I now want.

My youngest daughter chose a Key Lime pie instead of a cake for her 11th birthday last year. It’s her absolute favorite!

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!

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.

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.

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.
