This is an easy, no-bake grasshopper pie recipe featuring a creamy, fluffy mint filling set in a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. It is a refreshing, frozen dessert perfect for holidays or any time you want a simple, satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 Oreo cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup crème de menthe liqueur (optional, for adult version)
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract (if omitting liqueur)
  • 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl 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 filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
  3. Add flavor and texture: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping. If using the non-alcoholic version, mix in the mint extract and green food coloring until the color is uniform. If using the alcoholic version, gently fold in the crème de menthe liqueur.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled Oreo crust and spread it evenly.
  5. Chill or freeze: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or freeze for a firmer, frozen mint pie texture.
  6. Prepare the topping: Before serving, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the pie.
  7. Serve: Slice and serve the pie chilled or slightly thawed from the freezer.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use chocolate wafer cookies instead of Oreos.
  • If you omit the crème de menthe, increase the mint extract slightly for a stronger flavor.
  • This pie is excellent made ahead of time; it keeps well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • For a festive look, add a dollop of extra whipped topping and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings before serving.
