Description

Grasshopper Pie is a no-bake, minty chocolate dessert made with a chocolate cookie crust and a fluffy, creamy filling flavored with crème de menthe and crème de cacao.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup crème de menthe liqueur
  • 1/4 cup white crème de cacao liqueur
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • Green food coloring (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish and chill in the refrigerator.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine marshmallows and milk. Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in crème de menthe and crème de cacao. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  8. Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with chocolate shavings or mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • Use store-bought chocolate cookie crust for convenience.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, use mint extract and chocolate syrup instead of liqueurs.
  • Best served chilled for a firm texture.
