And this is my holiday dessert as I am NOT a pumpkin fan.

Grasshopper Pie (my best friend's grandmother's recipe)

1 egg white
dash salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 tablespoons white creme de cacao
4 tablespoons green creme de menthe
chocolate crust chilled

Beat egg white and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth and glossy. Beat in corn syrup a little at a time. Continue to beat until mixture holds stiff, straight, firm peaks.

Whip cream until stiff. Fold in liqueurs. Fold into egg mixture. Fold into crust. Freeze 12 hours. Serve Frozen.

Chocolate Crust
Mix 1 1/3 cup Chocolate wafer crumbs with
1/3 cup butter, melted. Press firmly into 8 inch pie plate. Chill until set and ready to fill.
