Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium heavy-gauge saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, and the mint-chocolate chips.
  2. Gradually stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, continue to cook and stir for exactly 1 minute to thicken the mixture.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the hot chocolate mixture to a large bowl.
  6. Cover the surface of the chocolate mixture directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
  7. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
  8. In a separate medium bowl, combine the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  9. Beat the cream and sugar mixture until stiff peaks form.
  10. Remove the plastic wrap from the cooled chocolate mixture and beat it well to loosen it up.
  11. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
  12. Spoon the minty mousse filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
  13. Chill the pie in the refrigerator until firm, which takes about 2 to 3 hours, before serving.
