Frozen Chocolate Mint Dessert

Frozen Chocolate Mint Dessert
“This is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. My last version was a fluke, as I put in too much mint extract. I needed to cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, so I ended up flipping the whole thing upside-down on top of a brownie crust!” Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
