Description

Creamy Grasshopper Pie is a refreshing and indulgently smooth dessert combining the bright flavors of mint and chocolate with a rich, velvety texture. Featuring a crunchy chocolate cookie crust and a creamy minty filling studded with chocolate chips, this pie is perfect for any occasion. Easy to prepare and highly customizable, it offers the perfect balance of sweet and cool in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cookie Crust

  • 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Pie Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur (or 2 teaspoons mint extract for non-alcoholic version)
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract (optional, enhances mint flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust: Start by crushing your chocolate cookies finely, then mix them with melted butter to hold the crust together. Press this mixture evenly into a pie dish, creating a solid base that will crisp up beautifully in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and crème de menthe liqueur or mint extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in whipped cream to lighten the texture.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir chocolate chips into the filling, making sure they’re evenly distributed for little bursts of chocolate in every slice.
  4. Assemble the Pie: Pour the creamy filling into your prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the pie tightly and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight to allow it to set perfectly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, add any desired garnishes like whipped cream swirls, shaved chocolate, or fresh mint leaves to elevate the presentation and wow your guests.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling light and airy.
  • Chill overnight for best flavor melding and firm texture.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate cookies to enhance taste and texture.
  • Adjust mint flavor gradually by adding mint extract to preference.
