Frozen Grasshopper Torte
This is a very easy desert and I have not had anyone not like it.
A recipe that i found many years ago and tried and the children often ask me to make it for a special ocassion. I do not keep a stock of alcohol and have taken a small container to the local hotel and bought just the amount I needed to make this desert (it is the more expensive way to buy the alcohol though). Anyway have a try and enjoy your cooking.
1/4 cup cooking marg
1 packet plain chocolate biscuits
4 cups White Marshmallows
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup creme de menthe
2 tbsp white creme de cacao
1 cup stiffly beaten cream

Finely crush biscuits (i do this by putting them in a plastic bag and rolling them with my rolling pin) or you can use a food processor if you have one. Melt the marg and combine with the crushed biscuit, then place 3/4 of the biscuit mix into a greased pie plate (23cm).
and chill. Put the mashmallows and milk inot a glass bowl and melt in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 mins. Stir in creme de menthe and cream de cacao and cool. Fold in whipped cream and sprinkle remaining choc biscuit mix on the top.
Freeze until firm. Decorate with whipped cream and Kiwifuit. This time I used strawberries as the guest of honor (birthday boy) did not like kiwi fruit
