This Thin Mint Pie Takes Girl Scout Cookies to the Next Level

By Jocelyn Hsu at University of California – Berkeley

Thin Mints are my favorite Girl Scout cookies, and I always buy a box (or three) of them. This year, I decided to get a little creative and made this Thin Mint pie to bring together my love of pies and Thin Mints. It's pretty much a giant, frozen Thin Mint topped with more Thin Mints. 

If it's not Girl Scout season and you're craving Thin Mints, make this recipe without the cookies. It will still taste like a delicious Thin Mint pie.
