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
- 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.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine marshmallows and milk. Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in crème de menthe and crème de cacao. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
- 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.
