You will make this cool, creamy, and minty Grasshopper Pie with a rich Oreo cookie crust. This easy, no-bake dessert is perfect for holidays or potlucks and uses mint extract for a family-friendly flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 25 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring (optional, for classic color)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
  • Whipped topping, thawed (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are 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 with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and mint extract until fully combined. Add the green food coloring now if you are using it.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine the filling: Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then, fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the filling to remain light and airy.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with thawed whipped topping. Sprinkle the top evenly with mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve this cool and creamy pie immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos, scraping out the white filling first.
  • If you prefer a frozen grasshopper pie, freeze the assembled pie for at least 4 hours before topping with whipped cream.
  • To make this an alcoholic version, substitute 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of Crème de Menthe liqueur when mixing the filling.
