Make this easy, no-bake Grasshopper Pie featuring a crunchy Oreo crust and a cool, creamy mint chocolate filling. This simple dessert requires no oven time and is perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 Oreo cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1/2 cup crème de menthe liqueur (or use 1/4 cup mint extract and 1/4 cup milk for non-alcoholic)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (optional, for color)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add liquids and flavor: Beat in the crème de menthe liqueur (or mint extract/milk substitute), milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. If you want a greener color, add a few drops of green food coloring now.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill the crust: Pour the mint filling into the chilled cookie crust and spread it evenly.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For a firmer, frozen texture, you can freeze it for 2-3 hours.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with freshly whipped heavy cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the filling, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
  • If you prefer a firmer, frozen dessert, skip the heavy cream topping and freeze the pie for 4 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • This recipe is a great make ahead dessert; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
