-----CRUST-----
1 1/2 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup Sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Plain gelatin
1/3 cup Cream
4 Egg yolks
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Creme de menthe
1/4 cup Creme de cacoa
1/2 cup Whipping cream

Mix the crumbs, 1/4 c sugar and melted oleo. Line pie plate and bake at 450'
for 5 mins. Cool. Soften gelatin in cream over hot water. Cool. Beat sugar into
yolks. Add liquors, Add gelatin and mix well. Refrigerate for 15 mins until
slightly thickened. Whip cream and fold into thickened gelatin mixture. Pour
into cooled cookie crust and chill until firm. Crushed mint flavored chocolate
may be sprinkled on top. (I know about the salmonella problem in uncooked eggs,
but....it's sooo good).I've used just Creme de menthe because I had no Creme
d'cacoa,on hand. From the Sharp Hospital, San diego,CA Christmas Recipe
