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

FROZEN GRASSHOPPER PIE



Frozen Grasshopper Pie image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup milk
24 large marshmallows
4 Tbsp creme de menthe (green)
2 Tbsp creme de cacoa (white)
1 c heavy whipping cream

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!!!

Categories     Ice Cream Drinks

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 oz creme de menthe (green)
3/4 oz creme de cacao (white)
2 scoop(s) vanilla ice cream

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.

Conclusion:

The grasshopper is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, there is a grasshopper recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a tasty and festive drink, give the grasshopper a try.
