Grasshopper Pie
Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
Chill: 4 hours hours
Total Time: 4 hours hours 20 minutes minutes
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients:
24 Oreo cookies, crushed creme filling does not need to be removed
¼ cup butter, melted
7 oz jar marshmallow creme
8 oz Cool Whip or 2 cups whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks
¼ cup creme de menthe or for non alcoholic version use ¼ cup milk, ¼ to ½ teaspoon peppermint extract + green food coloring
6-7 Chocolate Mint (grasshopper) cookies or Thin Mints, chopped + additional for garnish (optional)
Optional garnishes: mint leaves, whipped cream, extra cookies
Directions:
Crush 24 Oreo cookies with filling in a large ziploc bag until it resembles fine crumbs.
Mix with melted butter and press in the bottom & up sides of a 9" pie dish or springform pan.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together marshmallow creme, Cool Whip, and creme de menthe.
Add chopped chocolate mint cookies, if using.
Pour into chilled pie crust. Sprinkle with additional crumbs if desired. Crumbs can be Oreos or chocolate mint cookies.
Freeze for at least 2-4 hours overnight or until set.
When ready to serve, remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. This will make the pie easier to cut. Garnish with whipped cream, additional cookies, and/or mint leaves.
Notes:
Make sure to freeze the pie for at least 4 hours to properly set. For easier slicing, let the pie set for 10 minutes on the counter before serving. If it is still difficult to cut, run a sharp knife under hot water, then slice.
