1/12 cups chocolate cookie crumbs

1/4 cup of melted butter

350F for minutes.

32 large or 3 cups of miniature marshmallows

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup creme de menthe

3 Tbsp creme de cacao

1 1/2 cups chilled whipping cream

few drops of green food colour.

Heat marshmallows and milk over medium heat, stirring constantly,

just until marshmallows melt. Chill until thickened, then blend

in liqueurs. In chilled bowl, beat cream until still. fold

marshmallow mixture into whipped cream. Fold in food colour, if

desired. Pour into prepared and cooled crust. If desired, sprinkle

with grated semisweet chocolate. Chill at least 3 hours until

set.

Since I couldn't get marshmallows here, I used to make my own using

2 Tbsp gelatine

3/4 cup water

3/4 cups sugar

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 egg white

Soften the gelatine in the water. Add sugar, and bring to the

boil, stirring. Boil 8 minutes without stirring. Cool. Beat egg

white till stiff, fold in powdered sugar, then slowly pour in cooled

gelatine. Beat until white and thick.
