Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 25 Oreo cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1/2 cup crème de menthe liqueur (optional, for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (if omitting liqueur)
  • 1/2 teaspoon green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Place the chocolate cookie crumbs in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until 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, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add the mint flavor: Slowly mix in the cold milk, crème de menthe (if using), or peppermint extract and green food coloring (if using). Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine the filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread evenly.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For a firmer, frozen grasshopper pie dessert, freeze for 2-3 hours.
  8. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top with chocolate chips. Slice and serve this impressive easy dessert chilled.

Notes

  • If you skip the crème de menthe liqueur, use peppermint extract for flavor and add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the classic color.
  • You can substitute Cool Whip for the heavy whipping cream if you prefer a quicker, stabilized filling. Fold 1 cup of thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture.
  • This is a great make ahead dessert; it holds well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
