Description

Grasshopper Pie is a refreshing and creamy no-bake dessert that combines the cool flavors of mint and chocolate in a smooth, fluffy filling set inside a chocolate crumb crust. Perfect for making ahead, this pie features a rich cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk base with green food coloring and crushed chocolate-mint cookies mixed in, topped with whipped topping for a luscious finish. Ideal for mint lovers looking for a simple yet impressive dessert to serve chilled.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 15 drops green food coloring
  • 24 chocolate-covered mint cookies, divided (16 crushed, 8 whole for garnish)
  • 2 cups whipped topping

Crust

  • 1 chocolate crumb crust (9 inches)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until completely combined and smooth. Add the green food coloring and beat well to evenly tint the mixture a vibrant green color.
  2. Add cookies: Coarsely crush 16 of the chocolate-covered mint cookies and gently stir them into the cream cheese mixture, distributing the cookie pieces evenly throughout the filling.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Carefully fold in the 2 cups of whipped topping to maintain the airy texture of the filling, blending it until just combined.
  4. Assemble the pie: Spoon the prepared filling evenly into the chocolate crumb crust, smoothing the top.
  5. Freeze: Cover the pie securely and freeze it overnight to allow it to set firmly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it stand 15 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish the top with the remaining 8 whole chocolate-covered mint cookies for a decorative touch and added texture.

Notes

  • This pie can be made a day in advance, which makes it an excellent make-ahead dessert.
  • For a stronger chocolate-mint flavor, substitute the chocolate-covered mint cookies with regular Oreo cookies combined with mint Oreo cookies as suggested.
  • The pie is best served slightly softened after 15 minutes out of the freezer for easier slicing and optimal texture.
