Servings: persons

1-1/2 cups crushed chocolate-covered mint cookies (about 24 cookies)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 cups peppermint ice cream, softened if necessary
1 ounce semisweet chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup sugar

1
In a small bowl, mix crushed cookies and melted butter. Press onto the bottom and up sides of a 9-in. metal pie pan. Freeze, covered, 1 hour or until firm.
2
Spread ice cream into crust. Freeze, covered, until firm.
3
To serve, preheat oven to 450u00b0. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 4-5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in vanilla; keep warm.

For meringue, in a small heavy saucepan, combine egg whites and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat on low speed 1 minute. Place saucepan over low heat; continue beating on low until a thermometer reads 160u00b0.
5
Transfer mixture to a bowl. Beat on high until stiff glossy peaks form. Spread over frozen pie. Bake 2-3 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Serve immediately with warm chocolate sauce.
