Steps:
- Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize. (Or, if you have some aggression or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin!) Set a small handful of crumbs aside to sprinkle over the finished pie. Pour the rest into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
- Heat the marshmallow and half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it's all melted and combined, place the saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool down quickly. (Stirring occasionally will hasten this process.) Once cool, add the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Taste and add more creme de menthe if needed. Add the green food coloring if using.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream until stiff. Pour the cold marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and fold together gently. Pour the filling into the chocolate crust. Sprinkle over the reserved cookie crumbs.
- Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes or so before you want to slice and serve.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pie. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Make sure your pie crust is well-chilled before you bake it. This will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking.
- Don't over-mix the filling. Over-mixing can make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. This will usually take about 45 minutes.
- Let the pie cool completely before you serve it. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
Conclusion:
Grasshopper pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling, chocolate cookie crust, and mint flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give grasshopper pie a try.
