How to Make Grasshopper Pie

This Grasshopper Pie is all about layering delightful textures and flavors. Follow these simple steps for a dessert that’s as easy to make as it is to devour!

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Oreo Crust

1. In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
2. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass or your fingers to get a compact crust.
3. Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling, or freeze for 15 minutes for an extra firm crust.

Step 2: Create the Dreamy Mint Filling

1. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
2. Add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3. Stir in the green crème de menthe (or syrup), white crème de cacao (or syrup), vanilla extract, and optional green food coloring. Mix until just combined and uniformly green.
4. In a separate, very cold bowl (metal bowls chilled in the freezer work wonders!), whip the cold heavy cream with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
5. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.

Step 3: Assemble and Chill

1. Pour the luscious mint filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
2. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the Mint Desserts pie is firm and well-set.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Before serving, top the pie with additional fresh whipped cream.
2. Sprinkle generously with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. For an extra touch of elegance, add a fresh mint sprig.
3. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy the cool, creamy goodness!

Fun Twists & Serving Ideas

Boozy vs. Kid-Friendly: For a non-alcoholic version, simply swap the crème de menthe and crème de cacao for mint syrup and chocolate syrup.
Extra Chocolatey: Mix mini chocolate chips into the mint filling for pockets of chocolatey goodness. You can also drizzle chocolate syrup over each slice.
Different Crusts: Not a fan of Oreos? Try a graham cracker crust or even a crushed chocolate wafer crust for a slightly different flavor profile.
Peppermint Patty Power: Crush up some peppermint patties and fold them into the filling for an extra minty-chocolate punch.
Individual Servings: Make mini grasshopper pies in individual ramekins or small dessert cups for elegant single-serve treats.
