Got just 10 minutes to create a delicious dessert? Then you can whip up this super easy No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie!
I am enamored with the simplicity of this no-bake pie method ... the simplicity of simply melting some chocolate and stirring it into Cool Whip. Can a great tasting pie truly be that easy? Oh, yes. Yes, it can. I found that out in the classic No-Bake Hershey's Chocolate Bar Pie I posted a while back.
Once I had whipped up that no-bake chocolate bar pie, I just had to try it out with some other experiments...
... because that's just what I do!
So I turned to the grocery store candy aisle for inspiration. Yup, I walked up and down the candy aisle asking myself, "What can I melt into a pie next?!?" I'm sure people were giving me strange looks because I was lingering in front of candy shelves for what probably seemed like a ridiculously long time.
But I was thinking. And creating ... in my mind.
I have many experimental ideas I'd like to try with this method. But I landed first on Andes Creme de Menthe Thins. "Mmmm, hmmmm," I thought, "these will melt up perfectly!"
And they did.
Absolutely perfectly to create this delectable No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie.
As I said, I've got some other experiments up my sleeve with this melt-stuff-and-stir-it-into-Cool-Whip method. I can't wait to keep trying them out! {Hope the family's ready to eat a lot of pie.}
Have you got ideas for what to try with this method? What would you try melting and stirring into Cool Whip to create a pie?? I'd love to hear!
Thank you for stopping by The Kitchen is My Playground. We'd love to have you back soon!

ReplyDeleteYour pie looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I would try melting a Milky Way Bar! I would melt peanut butter. Chocolate. Chocolate and then peanut butter, in layers. Hmmmm the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI know, Linda, right?! ... Seriously, the possibilities are mind-boggling! Love the Milky Way Bar idea. And I really want to try melting Reese Cups. I'm really wondering if that would give a different flavor than straight-up peanut butter and chocolate, or if it would be the same. I'm a curious girl.
