Steps:

• For the Chocolate Wafer Crust:
• Coat a 9-inch pie pan with 2 teaspoons of the butter. In a food processor, chop the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in the rest of the melted butter. Pat the mixture over the bottom and sides of the pan. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Bake the pie crust for 8 to 10 minutes, until set and dry. Place on a rack to cool.
• For the Grasshopper Filling: Finely chop the white chocolate and put it in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring 1/2 cup of the cream just to a simmer. Pour it over the chocolate and stir with a whisk until smooth and blended. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until completely chilled. Whip to soft peaks, about 2 minutes, and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. In a small bowl, soften the gelatin by stirring in into the milk. Set aside.
• Combine the yolks, eggs, and sugar in a medium bowl or double boiler and place it over a pan of slowly boiling water. Whisk until very hot to the touch but not scrambled (160 degrees). Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whisk (you may switch to an electric mixer) until mixture is thick, double in volume, and, when tipped from a spoon, holds a ribbon shape for 2 seconds, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the creme de menthe and/or peppermint extract, if using.
• Set the bowl of the gelatin over the pan of simmering water until gelatin has dissolved, about 1 minute, then whisk it into the egg mixture. Set aside to cool down to tepid.

• Press dough out onto a 16x12 cookie sheet lined in baking paper. Roll out to a uniform thickness (about 1/8 of an inch) and bake 10 minutes until JUST starting to brown.
• Note: You want your crust to be as light as possible so trim and discard and browned sections when out of the oven and cooled.
• Once cooled, crumble into large pieces and place in a food processor and pulp until in fine crumbs then place crumbs in a mixing bowl. If you don't have a food processor? Throw them in a sturdy Ziploc bag and whack with a rolling pin ;).
• Repeat process with two cups white chocolate chips and add to that same mixing bowl. Add melted shortening and mix until a pliable dough forms. Press into an 8" pie dish and create crimped edge with your fingertips.
• FILLING:.
• Place 1/8 cup water in glass bowl and add gelatin then allow to bloom. In a large pot gently melt down marshmallows on low/medium heat stirring constantly. Once in cream state, add half and half, Crème de Menthe, whipping cream and bloomed gelatin. Heat until just about ready to simmer. Remove from heat and allow to cool about 15 minutes. Place in a stand mixer and mix for 5 minutes. Pour half mixture into your prepared pie dish and the remaining mixture into a domed mixing bowl lined with plastic wrap. Place both the pie and the bowl into a freezer overnight.
• In the morning, carefully remove the filling from the bowl handling only the plastic wrap and flip onto your frozen pie for a domed effect. (It's jiggly and this is tricky, so know that going in!) Place back into freezer until ready to decorate.
• Stabilized Whipped Cream:.

• Heat 3/4 cup white chocolate on low on stovetop until completely melted and in a liquid state. Add corn syrup and mix nonstop until dough forms: This is your modeling chocolate.
• Decorative Direction:.
• Use modeling chocolate to shape legs and feelers for your grasshopper and adhere pieces together with the remaining white chocolate melted down. Any remaining melted chocolate can be placed in a small parchment piping bag and used to do the fine decoration and smoothing of the grasshopper. Place finished chocolate insect on top of your decorated pie. Serve immediately or freeze until ready for company.
