" Get your Irish up on Saint Patrick&amp;#039;s Day with a homemade green treat! These emerald-tinged recipes are a breeze to make and loaded with festive flare. Grown ups: Feel free to wash &amp;#039;em down with a green beer (or three)\u2026  1. Lucky Leprechaun Pudding: Stir a few drops green food coloring into prepared vanilla pudding. Layer in parfait glasses with crumbled brownies or Oreo cookies. Top with shaved chocolate or chocolate coins.  2. Key Lime Pie: This creamy citrus pie is made with fat-free sweetened condensed milk and yogurt, giving it a tasty (and healthy!) twist.   3. Pistachio Ice Cream Cake: Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Slice 1 pound cake in half, lengthwise, and trim to fit the pan, if needed. Press pound cake bottom into the prepared pan. Top with 1 to 2 pints softened pistachio ice cream. Press on pound cake top, wrap tightly and freeze 3 hr. or until firm. Remove from pan using the plastic wrap.   4. Chocolate-Covered Green Apples: Melt milk, semisweet or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring, until smooth. Dip Granny Smith apples in the melted chocolate and roll in green nonpareils; transfer to wax paper and let sit about 1 hr. or until chocolate sets.  5. The Perfect Green Frosting On... If you&amp;#039;re short on time, try frosting something store-bought with the perfect hue of green frosting! I used a standard box of liquid food coloring (red, blue, yellow and green) to make the colors above. Follow the amounts listed, then use them to decorate plain doughnuts, cupcakes, brownies, etc.   6. Boozy Green Grape Jell-O or Terrine: This wine-spiked dessert\u2014made with Riesling, grapes and gelatin\u2014is surprisingly healthy! Serve it sliced or spoon into a serving dish, like I did above.   7. Grasshopper Cake: Add a splash of green food coloring to the cr\u00E8me de menthe\u2013studded filling of this classic cake in step 6. Top with shaved mint chocolates for even more cool, minty flavor.   8. Mini Kiwi Tarts: Defrost and/or bake phyllo dough tart shells as the label directs. Fill with no-bake cheesecake filling or good-quality yogurt. Slice kiwis and cut out shapes using small cookie cutters; arrange on top of miniature tarts.  9. Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies: Follow our go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies but make a few strategic tweaks. First, add a few drops green food coloring to the batter in step 5, then swap regular chocolate chip for mint chocolate chips in step 6 (my favorites are Guittard Green Mint Chips). If you can&amp;#039;t find mint chips, use regular and add a splash of mint extract to the batter instead. Do you have a Saint Patrick&amp;#039;s Day dessert that you make every year? I&amp;#039;d love to know! Leave it in the comments. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
