Make this cool, creamy, and refreshing No-Bake Grasshopper Pie. It features a rich chocolate cookie crust and a bright mint filling, perfect for family gatherings or St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon 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)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (for garnish)
  • Whipped topping or extra whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. 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 cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, mint extract, and green food coloring, if using, until fully combined.
  3. 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.
  4. Combine the filling: Gently fold the prepared whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the mint filling into the chilled chocolate cookie crust and spread evenly.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until the filling is firm. For a firmer, frozen grasshopper pie texture, freeze for 3 to 4 hours.
  7. Serve: Before serving, top the pie with whipped topping or extra whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a traditional, adult version, substitute 2 tablespoons of crème de menthe liqueur for 2 tablespoons of the mint extract.
  • If you do not have a food processor for crumbs, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • This pie is an excellent make ahead dessert; it holds well in the refrigerator for up to two days.
