I’m not a good thief.
This Frozen Mojito Pie story will tell you why.
A few weeks ago I was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, chatting with the others, looking through magazines, reading, and enjoying the “You might be suffering from XYZ” articles, and “Take ABC Drugs for only 200$ a pill”.
I then came across this photo.
What I did next is something that any of you would have done; I ripped the page off and shoved it in my purse! Quickly!
The entire ride home involved thoughts of cold Mojitos and frozen pies. Ahhh.
As soon as I arrived, I opened up my purse, took out the photo and… panic! Where’s the RECIPE?!?
All I found was an ad for Milk – no recipe!
I thought that the recipe would be on the back of the photo. (Isn’t that where they always are?)
I was so nervous to tear that page from a magazine that did not belong to me, that I did not even think to see if there was a recipe somewhere near the photo. (insert “duh” emoticon here.)
Sigh…
After a long search, and a couple of hits and misses, I found the one!

You crack me up! I’ve “stolen” recipes on many occasions, and I always feel bad about it, but I think everyone does it. Fortunately you were able to find the actual recipe online! Looks delicious! I love mojitos 😉
You are too funny 🙂 Gorgeous pie! Glad you were able to find the recipe after all 🙂
I feel kind of guilty about doing that sometimes, but here’s an alternative… take a photo of the recipe w/ your iPhone! The pie looks delish 🙂
Awwwww man…I don’t have any cream cheese or whipped topping. 🙁 We had mojitos last night for dinner, and I’d so much love to use the rest of my mint to make this beauty. I’m bookmarking the recipe though so I can make it later. I just gotta try this! 🙂
