Makeover Frozen Grasshopper Torte image

Who doesn't love the frosty, refreshing combo of mint and chocolate? Even better when it comes in the form of an awesome ice cream dessert! This Taste of Home Test Kitchen makeover is just as good as the original. The crunch of the chocolate crust and creamy mint filling make a great pair. Although softer-set than the original, this dessert won't stick around long enough to melt!

I'm allergic to mint, so I can't try this recipe. It sounds delicious though!

This torte is really expensive to make. I think I'll stick to buying it from the store.

I had some trouble getting the torte to set properly. I think I might have over-mixed the batter.

This torte is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
