Grasshopper Pie
  
1/12 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup of melted butter
 
Mix and press into greased pie plate, and bake at 350F for 10
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.
