Thin Mint Cookies and Cream Pie

On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.  Here is recipe 72: Thin Mint Cookies and Cream Pie!

We love Girl Scout cookies in our house.  I am not a fan of Thin Mints (I know….am I human?)  I prefer the Samoas and Savannah Smiles.  My husband however is a NUT for Thin Mints, and he does not have a sweet tooth.

My husband was so wonderful to buy me 4 boxes of my favorites and only buy him 2 boxes of Thin Mints.  I was not so wonderful and used both of his boxes of Thin Mints to make this pie.  Then when he went to the grocery store to get more from the Girl Scouts out front, they had sold out.  SAD!!  I am feeling pretty bad for him.  I’m still looking for more.

Once I realized that I would be using ALL of his Thin Mints, I started to worry.  See, he likes these cookies but he is not a fan of whipped cream.  This pie is all whipped cream.  So I was holding out that the hope that it is a cookies and cream pie and that he loves me more than cookies.  It worked!  He ate two pieces and reassured me that the pie was worth his only two boxes of Thin Mints.  However, I still want to find him more.  Anybody want to mail me a box?
