FROZEN GRASSHOPPER PIE
When I first started experimenting with cream pies, this seemed like the right recipe to create for a house of chocolate lovers. I guessed right. This is more of an adult New Year's Eve pie, but some have made it for Christmas dessert-served after the kids have gone to bed! -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

MAKEOVER FROZEN GRASSHOPPER TORTE
Who doesn't love the frosty, refreshing combo of mint and chocolate? Even better when it comes in the form of an awesome ice cream dessert! This Taste of Home Test Kitchen makeover is just as good as the original. The crunch of the chocolate crust and creamy mint filling make a great pair. Although softer-set than the original, this dessert won't stick around long enough to melt!

FROZEN GRASSHOPPER PIE
Grasshoppers were a popular drink back in the day. This is a most luscious dessert that has all the flavors of a frozen grasshopper. This is a recipe from the former owner of what was my favorite restaurant as a kiddo. Her desserts are legendary, & yay me to have some of the recipes! :) Enjoy this one.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the chocolate pie crust. I bought the Oreo brand in the section w/ graham cracker crusts. I always brush w/ egg white & bake for 5 minutes on 350. Then, let the crust cool down.
- 2. Heat milk & marshmallows & stir until thoroughly melted (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat & let cool about 15 minutes. Then pour into large mixing bowl.
- 3. Add Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cacoa to the marshmallow mixture. Stir well.
- 4. Whip the whipping cream until firm (you will need your mixer for this). Fold this in with everything else & stir a few times.
- 5. Pour this into the crust & freeze overnight. Garnish w/ chocolate shavings, chips, or sauce. YUM!!!

Steps:
- 1. Mix all three ingredients together in a blender and blend until drink has the consistency of a good milk shake.
- 2. Serve with a spoon and straw.
Tips:
- For a classic grasshopper, use crème de menthe and crème de cacao. For a more unique flavor, try using different liqueurs, such as green Chartreuse or anisette.
- Be sure to use fresh lime juice. Bottled lime juice will not taste as good.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a blender or a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- If you want a frozen grasshopper, blend the ingredients with ice until slushy.
- Garnish your grasshopper with a mint sprig or a lime wedge.
