Bake moi a cake called 'Love'

This delicious recipe is cooked up from a little book known as "In the Kitchen With Miss Piggy -- Fabulous Recipes from My Famous Celebrity Friends" (It's possible that this book and "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" were in competition for the longest title of a Muppet related product.)

Kermit's Favorite Grasshopper Pie

by Kermit

"Kermie, Kermie, Kermie -- my sweet little Kermie. There's no way I would ever eat anything called grasshopper pie." - Miss P.

For the Crust

1 1/2 cups crushed Oreos (about 16 cookies)

2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling

1/3 cup milk

1 package unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/3 creme de menthe

1/3 cup creme de cacao

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Topping

1/2 cup heavy cream

chocolate curls or shavings

(pick the chocolate of your choice -- semisweet, bittersweet, or milk)

To make the crust:

In a small bowl, stir together the Oreos and butter. Press onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate until ready to use.

To make the filling:

1. Put the milk into a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Set aside for 5 minutes. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, creme de menthe, and creme to cacao. Set aside.

2. Set the bowl of milk and gelatin over a small pan of boiling water or use a double boiler and stir gently until smooth, about 4 minutes. Whisk into the condensed milk mixture. Refrigerate the filling, stirring often, until it begins to set, 30-40 minutes. Whip the 1 1/4 cups cream until stiff and fold into the filling. Spoon into the pie crust and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

To serve:

Whip the 1/2 cup cream and decorate the top of the pie. Sprinkle with chocolate curls.
