Grasshopper Pie

Cultural Context

Grasshopper Pie originated in the United States, becoming popular in the mid-20th century as a no-bake dessert. Its vibrant green color and minty flavor make it a festive choice for gatherings, especially around holidays. Today, variations include different crusts and flavor profiles, but the classic mint-chocolate combination remains beloved.

30 min
medium
6 servings
Servings4
24 chocolate cream sandwich cookies, vanilla cream or mint
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup milk
40 large marshmallows or 3 cups miniature marshmallows (250g)
¼ cup crème de menthe liqueur
1½ cups whipping cream
Few drops green food coloring (optional)
1

In a food processor, grind the chocolate cream sandwich cookies until fine. Set aside ¼ cup of the crumbs. Transfer the rest to a medium sized bowl and add melted butter. Mix well to combine until the mixture looks like wet sand. Dump into a 9 inch pie plate and pat firmly with a spoon, building up the sides. Set crust aside and make the filling.

2

In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and add marshmallows. Melt over medium low heat, stirring frequently until the marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat.

3

Add crème de menthe and stir well. Be sure to fully incorporate the crème de menthe as it tends to settle in spots throughout the mixture. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, stirring a couple of times throughout. The mixture should begin to set up and create mounds when dropped from a spoon.

4

In a large, chilled mixing bowl, whip cream until still peaks form. Fold in ⅓ of the marshmallow mixture with a whisk. Add another third and fold in again. Add the rest of the marshmallow mixture and fold until it's well combined. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired and whisk until smooth and creamy.

5

Pour the cream mixture into the prepared crust and spread evenly, forming swirly peaks with the spatula. Sprinkle with the ¼ cookie crumbs you reserved from earlier and refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
