Thin Mint Pie

You know what’s funny? Me re-watching Victoria’s Secret fashion shows being huge at 30 weeks pregnant wearing tapered sweat pants and big ugly socks with frizzy hair and no make-up eating this entire pie.

My husband is one lucky man.

Anyways, I made a pie. And it’s the bomb. I’ve also been looking up new workouts to try after I have this little dude, but I’m thinking that my good intentions will be put on hold because of ….. this pie.

Blasted girl scouts and their irresistible cookies.

I think perhaps that chocolate and mint are one of my favorite combinations ever. Especially when cream is somehow involved. Umm, definitely when cream is involved. I do it because I can. And because I had 2 cups of cream I had to get rid of. And by get rid of I mean eat.

So yes, I made a Thin Mint Cream Pie. Thin mint crust, chocolate pudding filling and pepperminty whipped cream on top. HEAVEN! And super simple to whip out. I made the pudding from what I had on hand, but feel free to use a small box of chocolate jello to eat that much faster. And please make sure to add the whipped cream. My husband is a girl, doesn’t like ‘tasteless empty calories’ and scraped his cream off.

I was seriously this close to smacking him.

Moral of the story: don’t be like him.
