It is called Green Ice Cream Dessert -- that is what mom always called it. When Donna made it for the restaurant she called it "McDermott Pie" in honor of mom's Irish heritage (Nana Rosie's maiden name). Are you sure it was Annie's recipe? I thought it came from a newspaper article.
I think Donna actually called it "Valerie McDermott Pie", mom's maiden name plus Nana Rosie's maiden name. Yes, it definitely came from Annie.
Donna just told me that she called it "Mrs. McDermott's Pie." Once mom was in the restaurant on St. Pat's and she must have told the waitress that it was her recipe because the waitress went back to the kitchen and told Donna, "Mrs. McDermott is here!"
