Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Hopefully, you’re wearing green. (I may or may not have sent my boys to school with no green on last year because I forgot.) And hopefully you have something delicious and green ready for dessert. If not, here’s the perfect recipe for you to whip up at the last minute.
Stop by the grocery store on your way home and buy some Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I love Dryer’s, but buy your favorite, just make sure it’s green. Also pick up one of those pre-made Oreo crusts. If you want to decorate it, also buy some whipping cream, canned or regular.
By the time you get home from the grocery store your ice cream will have softened up a little bit. Dump all the ice cream into a large bowl and stir it until it’s a soft serve consistency and you can easily spread it into the Oreo crust. Pop it into the freezer to firm up while you eat dinner.
Decorate with whipped cream, grated chocolate and green sprinkles as desired. A drizzle of chocolate syrup wouldn’t hurt either.
Enjoy!

My daughter would love this. Her favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip. Unfortunately, she’ll be home alone tonight for a few hours. I think I’ll buy her the stuff to make this. Kudo’s my friend, you just made one little girl’s St. Patty’s Day a little brighter! Maybe I’ll even leave her my camera. ;)
I am a “last minute” kind of girl. This is my kind of Pie.
