Make this easy, no-bake Grasshopper Pie for a cool, refreshing dessert. It features a creamy, mint-flavored filling and a simple chocolate cookie crust. This family-friendly recipe uses mint extract for flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 28 Oreos)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon mint extract (optional, for stronger flavor)
  • Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)
  • 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated.
  3. Add flavorings: Mix in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring, if using, until the color is uniform.
  4. Fold in topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix; keep the filling light and airy.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the mint filling evenly into the chilled chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm. For best results, chill overnight.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve this easy no bake dessert cold. You can garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use dark cocoa powder in addition to the crumbs.
  • If you prefer a frozen grasshopper pie, place the assembled pie in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours until solid before serving.
  • If you want a slight alcoholic note without using liqueur, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of clear crème de menthe extract instead of some of the peppermint extract.
