Thin Mint Cream Pie from www.laurenslatest.com


 

You know what’s funny? Me re-watching Victoria’s Secret fashion shows being huge at 30 weeks pregnant wearing tapered sweat pants and big ugly socks with frizzy hair and no make-up eating this entire pie.

My husband is one lucky man.

Anyways, I made a pie. And it’s the bomb. I’ve also been looking up new workouts to try after I have this little dude, but I’m thinking that my good intentions will be put on hold because of ….. this pie.

Blasted girl scouts and their irresistible cookies.

I think perhaps that chocolate and mint are one of my favorite combinations ever. Especially when cream is somehow involved. Umm, definitely when cream is involved. I do it because I can. And because I had 2 cups of cream I had to get rid of. And by get rid of I mean eat.

So yes, I made a Thin Mint Cream Pie. Thin mint crust, chocolate pudding filling and pepperminty whipped cream on top. HEAVEN! And super simple to whip out. I made the pudding from what I had on hand, but feel free to use a small box of chocolate jello to eat that much faster. And please make sure to add the whipped cream. My husband is a girl, doesn’t like ‘tasteless empty calories’ and scraped his cream off.

I was seriously this close to smacking him.

Moral of the story: don’t be like him.

    Thank you!! I’ve been searching for a Pi Day plus St Patty’s day solution to the 15 boxes of thin mints my dad has compiled supporting his two granddaughters in their ambitious cookie sales. All I’ve found is pies loaded with Jello and Cool Whip. I can’t wait to try this!! Xoxo

    I may get yelled at for this, but I prefer Keebler Grasshopper cookies over Thin Mints. I think I’ll try this recipe and substitute the Grasshoppers for the Thin Mints.

    My husband is an absolute fool over Girl Scout cookies and buys boxes and boxes of them. Now I have a recipe to make a pie with them, YUM!

    i actually like all of them but this year I’m not thinking about them (and I love them, and will be hard to not eat any). I’m sending the ones I buy to my niece who’s in the Air Force at Andrews Air Force base. I’m sure she and the others serving will enjoy a little slice of home with them. I think she’s still home sick and they will make her smile!

    I just tried Thin Mints for the first time today, and now I am OBSESSED! I came across this page by google searching thin mints! I’ve gone mad! (Quite pleased though, because it seems you have some nifty recipes!) So needless to say my NEW favorite Girl Scout cookies are Thin Mints!

    My favorite has always been thin mint. I love eating them frozen, right out of the freezer. I often buy lots of boxes and load them up in the freezer to hoard over the year ! This pie, I’m going to have to make !! Its so easy supporting the Girl Scouts with such great cookies and so many ways to use them.

    Samoas are my fav! But I must say, Thin Mints are a close second. And Tagalongs a close third… ok, ok, you got me: I really do love them ALL! 🙂 Your pie looks delish. I’m going to make this.

    I am not sure which girl scout cookie flavors I have actually tried. I hardly ever had them growing up since they were so expensive. However, I definitely am a fan of the Samoas. I think they are definitely a favorite.

    This looks incredible! My husband would love me forever if I made this pie. While I like Thin Mints, my favorites are Caramel Delights ( I think they’re called Samoas now, but I just can’t get myself to use that name.) 😉

    I can’t decide! Thin mints, unless I wanted Tagalongs or those days I’m craving citrus would be Lemon Creme ::sigh::, it’s just hard to say. Wish we had the opportunity of some of the others I’ve seen listed. I didn’t realize until recently that the troops decided which ones to sell and that they all didn’t sell the same thing. 🙁

    Oh my favorite hands down are the Thin Mints. I’m always so bummed every year when people start talking online about Girl Scout Cookies because I haven’t seen one single Girl Scout anywhere near my house in almost 10 yrs. I would be thrilled to win.

    That pie looks just awesome. I know it has to be good.

    My favorite kind of girl scout cookie is probably the tagalong… but they’re all yummy. It’d be hard not to eat all eight boxes in one sitting….. *grin-sigh*

    My favorites are a tie between the Thin Mint (of course!) and the peanut butter sandwich cookie. I love to peel the latter apart and eat the slightly honey-flavored oatmeal cookie and then that little glorious pat of peanut butter. I haven’t had the chance to purchase any this year, so I’m keeping my eye out!

    o. magosh!!! Best giveaway EVER! Girl Scout cookies make me drool. My favorite has always been and always will be the Samoas, BUT, that being said, Thin Mints are a clear second…and I normally don’t like chocolate and mint together, but when it comes to Thin Mints, I totally fold! (I love ’em straight outta the freezer!) This pie looks scrumptious!

    Honestly it’s probably a toss-up between Thin Mints and Peanut Butter Tagalongs; however, last year I also developed a love for the Lemonades.

    They discontinued my favorites which were the Striped Chocolate Chips – I have no idea why except maybe they saved me from myself ’cause I could eat a whole box of those in one sitting! lol
    So now I like the shortbreads or thin mints

    Peanut butter fixes EVERYTHING, so I love both the Peanut Butter Patties (Tagalongs) and Peanut Butter Sandwiches Do-Si-Dos)! My daughter grew out of Girl Scouts and although I don’t miss the endless hours of selling cookies in the freezing temps of the NV desert, I do miss those cookies!!! :>)

    How do you choose just one favorite?! I would have to say my top three would be samoas, tagalongs, and thin mints. But honestly…there is no bad girl scout cookie.

    Samoas – hands down, definitely samoas. But I do love Thin Mints and Tagalongs. I’ve honestly never tried the other kinds because I don’t want to waste a purchase on something I may not like – I’m guaranteed to like these 3 : ) However, one of each box is a great idea!

    Samoas are pretty much the greatest Girl Scout cookie ever, although I do miss the Juliettes, which apparently no one remembers but me when I mention them.

    Do I have to pick just one as a favorite?! I have 3 favorites, but the one that my top out all the rest, would have to be the THIN MINTS! I usually end up with an extra box of those if I buy them!

    Growing up, mom always bought about 10 extra boxes of thin mints to put in the freezer so they would last the whole year. Needless to say, they didn’t last the whole year. That was the beginning of my frozen thin mint obsession :).

    Back in 1960 my sister was “Miss Cookie”, for selling the most cookies in our county. Yep they actually had that award and a parade. She looked so cute in her banner. Everyone on our block, (because in those days you only sold them door to door) bought boxes and boxes of the peanut sandwich cookies and I have no idea what they were called, they were the best.

    Thin mints are my favorite! I was at the doctor’s office on Thursday for my 28 week checkup. In walks girl scouts delivering orders. I had to fight myself to keep from attacking them! I immediately sent a text to my friend to see when my cookies were going to be in. This recipe is going to get me in trouble!!

    Me: Samoas. Absolutely no question. The hubbie: Trefoils. (Really, Mr. Boring?)
    Son#1: Tagalongs. Son#2: Do-si-dos. Baby Girl: Thin Mints.
    And this year they have some new ones that we must sample.

    Okay, Lauren… hold onto your seat for this one. We buy a minimum of one CASE (yes a full case, sometimes even TWO) each and every year of Thin Mints. Storage is in the freezer because there is nothing better than a frozen Thin Mint on a hot summer day, or a blustery fall day, or a bitter cold winter day or a rainy spring day… you get my point, ha ha! Wait until you make a milk shake with thin mints or better yet, homemade ice cream. And my husband just pointed out that whipped cream is NOT SENSELESS, TASTE-less calories! 🙂 Love that man!!

    As a girl scout who sold thousands of cookies. (No, not kidding), this is a difficult question for me. I always advised others of the individual cookies strengths and weaknesses. Or when in doubt, which cookies had the most per box. (Usually trefoils and thin mints back in my day).

    I think when in doubt, it would be Samoa, Thin Mint, Trefoil, Tagalong and then the Do si do just for it’s ability to be so delicious with a glass of milk…

    Girl Scout cookies ALWAYS get in the way of working out! Ugh! My favorites are either Thin Mints or Samoas… I’ll go with Thin Mints, because I can eat a good 3 sleeves before having to take a break – samoas are quite a bit harder to eat that many of.
