Grasshopper Pie
(from kmolina’s recipe box)
Win Schuler’s recipe
*Grandma’s notes: “I find it is difficult to mix xx cream and sauce so I find the best way is to pour sauce into a bowl on top of cream, then pour all back into pan and then again back to bowl, cutting through all the time gently w/wire whip.”
also: “I greased Pyrex pie dish and it stuck badly when serving. Try greasing with Wesson (?) oil.”
“Set pie dish on cloth soaked in H2O from boiling tap, for a few minutes before trying to remove pieces.”
