Peppermint Mocha French Silk Pie image

It's a hit hit with coffee and peppermint lovers. This recipe recommends the use of pasteurized eggs. Pasteurized eggs are eggs that have been pasteurized in order to reduce the risk of food-borne illness in dishes that are not cooked or are only lightly cooked. They may be sold as liquid egg products or pasteurized in the shell. Personally I have never seen them but I live deep in the boonies where folks have never heard of eggplant and are terrified of curry. If you can get em', use em'.
