A FUN PIE FOR ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
I have an undying serious love for no bake recipes – they’re delicious and easy. I mean, make a crust, stir some ingredients together, and then let it set. We really enjoy popping this pie into the freezer and just slicing and eating as we go. It’s so refreshing and tastes just like an ice cream pie! This no bake grasshopper pie is an absolute must-try. It tastes like mint chocolate chip ice cream but in pie form!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Yes of course! Just purchase a chocolate or Oreo cookie pie crust.
Grasshopper pie is named after the famous green Grasshopper Pie drink that is made with creme de menthe!
You do not have to top this pie with anything. However, a good substititue would be some chopped Andes creme de menthe chocolates. Some stores now carry Andes mint baking chips.
After making this several times, I found I preferred the paste (Wilton’s Kelly Green) over the liquid or gel. However, use what you have on hand!
No. You will not get the correct flavor. Mint extract is a combination of both peppermint and spearmint extracts giving it that unique creme de menthe flavor.
Absolutely! We actually enjoy eating it after it has been frozen. Just make sure you cover the pie well to protect against freezer burn. It will last for up to 3 months.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- OREO cookies
- butter
- marshmallow fluff
- mint extract
- green food coloring
- COOL WHIP whipped topping
- mini chocolate chips or creme de menthe (Andes) chocolates
HOW TO MAKE GRASSHOPPER PIE:
Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray and set aside. Using a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until finely ground.
Add the butter and pulse a few times to combine. Pour the crumb mixture into the bottom of the pie pan and press along the bottom and sides. Place into the fridge to cool and harden.
In a medium saucepan, melt the marshmallow fluff over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until completely melted.
Remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Stir in mint extract and food coloring. Allow to cool.
Once the fluff mixture has cooled completely, stir in the whipped topping until combined and add more food coloring if needed to reach desired color tone.
Pour the mixture into prepared crust and top with mini chocolate chips.
Refrigerate until firm for at least 4 hours (this step is super important!) Serve once firm – you are going to love this delicious easy no bake dessert! Note: You can even freeze this dessert to make it more like an ice cream pie.
Enjoy your delicious grasshopper pie!
