This dreamy chocolate cream pie with a touch of refreshing peppermint is the perfect way to cleanse the palate after a large meal. I first made this many years ago, not long after I got married. It was a winner then and is a winner now! -Susan Simons, Eatonville, Washington

[email protected]This pie was a bit too minty for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I would use half the amount of peppermint extract next time.

[email protected]This pie was just okay. The filling was a bit too thin, and the crust was a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]This pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a dark chocolate cookie crust instead of a regular chocolate cookie crust. I think the dark chocolate would pair better with the peppermint filling.
