My mama used to make this and I ate it as a child even though it contained booze.
Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize (or, if you have some aggressions or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large Ziploc bag.) Pour into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
Heat marshmallows and half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it’s all melted and combined, place saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool down quickly. (Stirring occasionally will hasten this process.) Once cool, add creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Taste and add more creme de menthe if needed. Add one to two drops green food coloring (optional!)
In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff. Pour cold marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and fold together gently.
Pour filling into chocolate crust (note: you might have a good 1/2 cup filling left over, depending on the size of your pie pan!) Sprinkle extra chocolate crumbs over the top. Place pie in the freezer and freeze until very firm, at least two hours.
Remove from freezer ten minutes or so before you want to slice and serve.

I made this today. I used marshmellow fluff to skip the heating/cooling step (not enough time). In the freezer right now. Seems ok… I’ll let you know when we eat it tonight!

I have peppermint schnapps in the cabinet: do I need to buy creme de menthe? Do they taste different? And they have different % alcohol content – does that make a difference?
Also: saw in the liquor store two creme de cacaos: one clear, and one brown (had caramel color added) – do they taste different?

I am having a birthday party tomorrow (my 30th!) and we are having a pie party. Instead of gifts each person is bringing their favourite pie (and recipe!).
As the host I am making two pies – a coconut cream pie and this one:) I have just made it and popped it in the freezer. The mix tastes delicious..
