To go along with the coconut cake I made for our Christmas get together I wanted to make something peppermint, I have had this recipe saved for a long time and decided to give a try. I didn’t read the directions very well and had just 6 hours to let it freeze and it wasn’t frozen so we had some mousse soup but the next day it was frozen and was just as good.
I am not a huge peppermint person so this wasn’t my favorite but it was very good.

What a great idea!
Peppermint mousse soup sounds like a great first course.
Glad the pie turned out like you wanted it to.
