Make this cool, creamy, and refreshing No-Bake Grasshopper Pie. It features a simple chocolate cookie crust and a bright mint filling, perfect for holidays or any time you need an easy, impressive dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract (or 1 teaspoon crème de menthe for an alcoholic version)
  • 1–2 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup crème de cacao (optional, for alcoholic version)
  • Whipped topping or extra whipped cream, for garnish
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a 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 cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add mint flavor: Mix in the mint extract and green food coloring, if using, until the color is uniform. If you are using crème de cacao, mix it in now.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine the filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Fold in the miniature marshmallows. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until the filling is firm. For a faster set, you can freeze it for 2-3 hours.
  8. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped topping or extra whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos and do not scrape out the filling.
  • If you prefer a frozen grasshopper pie, freeze the assembled pie for at least 4 hours until solid, then let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Use high-quality mint extract for the best flavor in this easy no bake dessert.
