Make this easy, no-bake Grasshopper Pie for a creamy, refreshing mint chocolate dessert perfect for holidays or warm weather gatherings. It features a simple Oreo cookie crust and a light, fluffy filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crème de menthe liqueur (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/4 cup non-alcoholic mint extract or mint syrup
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. 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 until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
  3. Add liquids: Beat in the milk, vanilla extract, and the crème de menthe liqueur or mint syrup until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you are making an alcohol-free version, use 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and increase the milk slightly if needed for consistency.
  4. Fold in whipped components: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Then, gently fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm. For a faster set, you can freeze it for 3-4 hours to create a frozen grasshopper pie texture.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic grasshopper pie, substitute the crème de menthe with 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 1/4 cup of milk or a mint syrup.
  • If you prefer a firmer, frozen texture, place the assembled pie in the freezer for 4 hours before serving.
  • You can use any brand of chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust; crush them finely in a food processor.
