Do you like something minty but sweet? I wanted to share some of my favorite desserts that I recently made. This Grasshopper Pie has a delicious mix of chocolate and mint flavors with a layered crunchy Oreo cookie crust. This recipe is perfect for celebrations, and I promise you will also love this. 
For the Topping:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
For the Crust:
- 30 mint Oreo sandwich cookies (about 339 grams)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 57 grams), melted
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (about 341 grams)
- 16 ounces cream cheese (about 454 grams), softened
- 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar (about 151 grams)
- 1/4 cup Crème de Menthe liqueur (about 57 grams), preferably green
- 3 tablespoons Crème de Cacao liqueur (about 43 grams)
- 1-2 drops of green food coloring
For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream (about 227 grams)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (about 21 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (about 4 grams)
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint Oreo sandwich cookies (about 17 grams, from about 2 cookies)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
- In a food processor, pulse the mint Oreo cookies until they turn into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in the melted butter and salt.
- Press the crust mixture firmly onto the bottom and sides of a 9- or 10-inch pie dish to form an even layer.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a stand mixer. Chill the whipped cream in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- In the same mixer bowl (no need to clean it), beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the Crème de Menthe, Crème de Cacao, and green food coloring until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and smooth it into an even layer.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, whip the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the pie, then sprinkle with chopped mint Oreo cookies.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Grasshopper Pie!
