NOTES : Here is a wonderful pie - one of my all-time favorite recipes!! If its hot where you are - try it!! *Hint: I have trouble with clumping in my pies. I have solved that problem by using lukewarm water and dissolving the dry milk powder in the water. Then I let it sit a few minutes while I measure out other ingredients to get them ready to put in the recipe. Then I mix the wet mixture in with the pudding. A story (sorry this is such a long post): I saw JoAnna make this pie one Saturday on PBS. That night my husband and I were watching a movie on TV. During a commercial I surprised him with a piece of this pie. He tasted it and said, "Ummmm. This is good. Where did it come from?" I replied, "I made it during the last commercial!" I love JoAnna's philosophy - "If it takes longer to make it than to eat it, forget it!!" It is so cooling and refreshing and creamy and CHOCOLATEY..... mmmmmmmmmm
"I freeze this pie (individual slices). When I want it, I set it out about 15-30 minutes ahead of time. Let it thaw enough to eat it. WOWSERS!!! Is it good!!! I reminds me of mint chocolate-chip ice cream and York Peppermint Patties. (I didn't tell my daughter that this pie is "healthy" - I just told her that its a mint chocolate chip pie - she loves it).

"I made this pie today minus the crust (no crust eliminates 110 calories and 5 grams of fat). I made it in the pie pan as it is so much easier to divide that way. Topped it with non-fat cool whip.
IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!! If you like the taste of Andre Mints, you will love this (even without a crust on it). Hal thought it was great too. Another keeper for my recipe file.
It looked so pretty with its light green color (used food coloring)and mini chocolate chips throughout. Isn't it amazing how far 2 tablespoon full of chips go.
Definitely would recommend this recipe. Be sure to try it."
