When I first started experimenting with cream pies, this seemed like the right recipe to create for a house of chocolate lovers. I guessed right. This is more of an adult New Year's Eve pie, but some have made it for Christmas dessert-served after the kids have gone to bed! -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of mint and chocolate seems a bit strange.

This pie was a total disaster. The filling was runny and the crust was burnt. I will never make this recipe again.

This pie is way too minty for my taste. I couldn't even finish one slice.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The crust on this pie is a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the filling is delicious.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good.

This pie is perfect for summer. It's light and refreshing, and the mint flavor is so cooling.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover mint. I always have a bunch of mint in my garden, and this is a great way to use it up.

I've made this pie several times, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is smooth and creamy, and the crust is perfectly flaky.

I was skeptical about the combination of mint and chocolate, but this pie proved me wrong. It was delicious!
