Time 2h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

32 chocolate sandwich cookies
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Two 7-ounce containers marshmallow creme
2/3 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur, or more to taste
2 tablespoons creme de cacao liqueur
1 to 2 drops green food coloring, optional
1 cup heavy cream

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.

This pie can be made healthier by using dark chocolate and reduced-fat cream cheese. You can also use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust. It's still delicious and satisfying, but with fewer calories and fat.

I love that this recipe is so versatile. You can use different types of chocolate and mint extract to create different flavor variations. I've also tried adding chopped nuts or fruit to the filling. It's always a hit!

I'm usually not a fan of mint desserts, but this pie changed my mind. The mint flavor is subtle and perfectly balanced with the chocolate and cream cheese. The crust is also amazing. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie is so good, it's dangerous! I could eat the whole thing in one sitting. The mint flavor is so refreshing and the chocolate and cream cheese filling is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

This grasshopper pie was a hit at my last party! The combination of chocolate, mint, and cream cheese was divine. The crust was perfectly flaky and the filling was smooth and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.
