Ingredients

1 envelope Knox unflavored gelatin
¹⁄₂ cup sugar, divided
¹⁄₈ tsp salt
2 eggs, separated
¹⁄₂ tsp peppermint flavoring
1 ¹⁄₄ cup milk
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Green food coloring
9-inch chocolate crumb shell

Instructions

Mix gelatin, 1/4 c. sugar and salt in medium saucepan. Beat together egg yolks and milk; stir into gelatin mixture. Place over low heat; stir constantly until gelatin dissolves and mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in peppermint flavoring. Chill, stirring occasionally until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from spoon. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually add remaining 1/4 c. sugar and beat until very stiff. Fold into gelatin mixture; fold in whipped cream. Add enough green food coloring to make delicate green shade. Turn into chocolate crumb shell. Chill until firm. Garnish with wreath of whipped cream, pistachio nuts and cherries or as desired.
