Kicked Up Grasshopper Pie

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2000

F.
In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix well. Pour the crumbs into a
10-inch pie plate and press into the plate. Place the crust into the oven and bake for 5
to 10 minutes, remove from the oven and cool completely. Add 1/4 cup of the heavy cream
to the top of a double boiler. Add the gelatin and gently heat and remove from the heat
and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg yolks and sugar until pale and
thick. With the mixer running, drizzle in the gelatin and cream mixture. Remove the egg
yolk mixture from the mixer and fold in the liqueurs. Refrigerate for 4 hours until
thickened. Whip 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the
thickened egg and gelatin mixture. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and refrigerate
overnight. Remove the pie from the refrigerator and garnish with chocolate curls and mint
sprigs and whipped cream.
