Tomorrow is PI Day! Wednesday is St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate both is the super easy delicious pie.
I have some friends that celebrate PI Day every year. We missed it last year and will miss it this year too except for virtually. But we are a little nerdy, enjoy a good pun, and of course love desserts! It’s the perfect day!!!

You can of course use a store bought chocolate cookie crust.
You can substitute 1 teaspoon peppermint extract for the Creme de Menthe.
If you are feeling particularly wild, you can chop up some Andes Chocolate mint candies and combine them in the Ice Cream Mixture
