Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I know I'm giving this to you the day of St. Patrick's Day, but if you are still in need of a fun St. Patrick's Day dessert for tonight this one is too easy and tastes just like Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.  It's delicious.

Now normally Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is green, right?  I bought my ice cream at Aldi's and for some reason it's not very green at all.  Don't let that deceive you though because it's still as minty delicious as ever.  If you're making this for St. Patrick's Day though you probably want to make sure the ice-cream is green.

This recipe has two ingredients, just needs an hour or so in the freezer to set and you are good to go.  By the time you get home from the store your ice cream will probably be softened enough to go right ahead and whip up this pie.  It's really so simple.  I mean - two ingredients... you can't get much easier than that!  My kid's loved this dessert.  I have a feeling we'll be making this again soon.
