  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted To bind the crust
For the filling
  • 2 1/2 cups cold milk Use full-fat for richer pudding
  • 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring Or use natural alternatives like spinach juice
  • 2 teaspoons mint extract Adjust according to taste
  • 5.1 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed For a light texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or shortening and set aside.
  2. In a food processor, blend the graham crackers and brown sugar until fine crumbs form.
  3. Gradually pour in the melted butter until the crumbs start to stick together.
  4. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish.
  5. Place the crust in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, or until firm.
Assembling the Pie
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, green food coloring, and mint extract until evenly combined.
  2. Add the vanilla pudding mix and whisk until it starts to thicken.
  3. Let the pudding rest for about 5 minutes to thicken further.
  4. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding until well mixed.
  5. Spoon the filling into the crust and smooth the top.
  6. Place the pie in the freezer for at least 6 hours or until set.
Serving
  1. Serve slices straight from the freezer for a clean cut.
  2. Allow 3-5 minutes at room temperature for a softer texture if desired.
  3. Top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries if desired.

Notes

Wrap the pie in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn; store in the freezer for up to 7 days. For best results, assemble just before freezing.
