Make this cool, creamy, and refreshing Grasshopper Pie. It features a simple chocolate cookie crust and a fluffy, mint-flavored filling. This recipe is entirely no-bake and family-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pre-made chocolate cookie crust (or homemade Oreo crust)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure mint extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring (optional, for classic color)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/2 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for filling)
  • Whipped topping and chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: If using a homemade crust, press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and chill while you prepare the filling. If using a store-bought crust, set it aside.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and light.
  3. Add flavor and sweetness: Gradually beat in the 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar, the mint extract, and the green food coloring, if using, until fully combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  5. Combine the fillings: Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon the fluffy mint filling evenly into the prepared chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill the pie: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  8. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped topping and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos) and pulse them in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons of melted butter before pressing into the plate.
  • If you prefer a frozen grasshopper pie, freeze the assembled pie for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • You can substitute 1 teaspoon of mint extract with 2 tablespoons of non-alcoholic crème de menthe syrup for a deeper flavor, though you may need to slightly reduce other liquids if the mixture seems too soft.
