Method

Mix all crust ingredients together, add a little water and form a ball. Mash with a fork until gummy. Divide dough in half and set the other half aside, you won't use it. Bake pie shell at 475 degrees F. for 8-10 minutes. When finished, set aside for cooling. Stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan. Add milk and egg yolks, continue to stir. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate chips, vanilla extract and mint extract. Pour immediately into baked pie shell and press plastic wrap onto filling. Chill pie thoroughly for at least 2 hours. Serve with green whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
