PEPPERMINT PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place chocolate wafers in a food processor; process until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add butter, sugar, and salt; pulse until mixture has a wet sand consistency, about 5 (1-second) pulses. Press mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until crust is firm and appears dry, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Add peppermint extract; beat on low speed until fully incorporated, about 15 seconds. Set aside. Beat whipping cream, sugar, and food coloring in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Gently fold whipped cream mixture into cream cheese mixture until just combined.
• Spread filling into prepared crust. Freeze until filling firms up, about 2 hours. Decorate with crushed peppermint candies. Serve.

• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cornmeal, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and chile powder. Add thyme, and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Pour egg mixture into flour and stir until well combined to form a batter.
• Pour 1 inch of oil into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Gently dip each flower into batter. Carefully place in hot oil; do not crowd. Fry until golden, about 2 minutes, turn, and fry 1 more minute if necessary. Drain on paper towels. Salt lightly. Serve hot as hors d'oeuvres or a side dish.
