Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 Oreo cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Green food coloring (optional, for color)
  • 1/4 cup Crème de Menthe liqueur (optional, for flavor)
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. 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 cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract. If using, mix in the Crème de Menthe liqueur now.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  4. Add color and topping: If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring until you reach your preferred mint shade. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly.
  6. Chill or freeze: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or freeze for 2 to 3 hours for a firmer, frozen mint pie texture.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a firmer, frozen grasshopper pie, freeze the assembled pie for at least 3 hours. If you prefer a softer, creamy mint pie, chill it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours.
  • If you skip the optional Crème de Menthe, you can add 1-2 extra drops of peppermint extract for a stronger mint flavor.
  • You can substitute the Oreo crust with graham cracker crust if you prefer a different base flavor.
