Grasshopper Pie
Grasshopper pie is a cool and refreshing dessert you can make without turning on your oven which makes it perfect for hot summer days. This type of pie is an “icebox pie”. Icebox pies classically have a cookie crumb crust and do not need to be baked.
Ingredients
25 chocolate sandwich cookies
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 jar marshmallow cream or 30 large marshmallows melted with 1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup creme de menthe
1 pint whipping cream
Crush cookies and mix with melted butter. Press into pie pan.
Whisk together marshmallows and creme de menthe until smooth. Whip the whipping cream to soft peaks and then fold in marshmallow mixture. Pour into crust and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving and then remove for 20 minutes before cutting (if you don’t, the crust won’t cut).

that sounds amazing right now in this 100+ heat! I will have to try this!
Grasshopper pie is amazing. I never make it though because I have no self-control and no one in the house likes mint. Dangerous combination.
Stopping by for the VNO, and this pie caught my eye. I was just looking at them at the supermarket. I have to try making this:)

I found you via Ann’s Food on Fridays. I haven’t had grasshopper pie in so long. My mom used to make this when I was a kid. I do love chocolate and mint. Perfect summer dessert.

On I love an icebox pie!! I’ve never had creme de methe. This is probably a super dumb question, but is it ice cream?
