In reply to Deb. Deb, I used 3 T. of Crème de Menthe. I also used lots of peppermint extract in the crust (1/2 t.), ganache (1/2 t.), filling (2 t.), topping (1/2 t.), let it chill for two days. It was perfect. And the shaved chocolate (1/2 t. peppermint).

This pie is extraordinary! So good! I used Crème de Menthe instead of the syrup, doubled the peppermint extract and used it everywhere, in the crust, ganache, filling, and even the whipped cream topping. It could not have been better!

If anyone has made this with the crème de menthe liqueur (with alcohol), I’d love to hear how much you used and any other changes. We do have plenty of that but no syrup. I may add tablespoon by tablespoon and see how it tastes and if it needs some sugar.

Made this for Thanksgiving last year. We didn’t care for it. The chocolate crust completely overpowered the mint filling. All we could taste was chocolate so if that’s your thing you might like it. The crust was also really hard after refrigerating. The first pieces we pulled out were fine but after staying overnight in the fridge it became a rock. Probably won’t be making this again.

I want to thank you for having a non-alcoholic version of Crème de Menthe pie. I’m unable to have alcohol and this is the first recipe I’ve found that is alcohol free. Thanks

This pie turned out so yummy!! I feel like it had a great crème de menthe flavor. When I was young (back in the very early 80’s) I used to stay overnight at my grandparents house. They always had Andes mints. This reminded me of them! What a great dessert!!

I made this today and we thought that the Reese’s Creme de Menthe had an odd taste.
I think it would have been much better with just peppermint extract.
I’ve never been disappointed in your recipes until this one. Thanks for all that you share!
