Grasshopper Pie

Grasshopper Pie is a delicious summertime dessert but also a favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a creamy frozen pie made with creme de menthe, creme de cocoa, and marshmallow creme and no cool whip over the top of a layer of minty fudge in a Oreo cookie crust. 

I had seen Grasshopper Pie a few weeks ago before my accident over at That Skinny Chick Can Bake.

I knew I had to make it. I have a serious love for mint and chocolate and knew this pie would hit the spot on a hot summer day with a Oreo cookie crust, a minty layer of fudge and a creamy frozen mint layer topped with a little whipped cream and chocolate shavings for garnish.

The mint fudge wasn't part of the original recipe but was the perfect addition to this recipe.

This pie has already been requested for Thanksgiving and Christmas from my family and we can't wait to enjoy another slice. Thanks Lizzy for a great recipe! 

Crush 25 whole Oreo Cookies until fine crumbs. 

I used the food processor but this can also be done in a large Ziploc bag.

Mix together with crushed Oreo Crumbs:

• 1/4 cup Melted Butter until well combined.

Press Oreo cookie crumbs into the bottom of a pie pan using a measuring cup bottom to level crust and push  crust up the sides of pan and into the corners.

It should look about like this. Pop this bad boy into a 350 degree oven for 5-6 minutes. When done allow crust to cool.

In a small saucepan combine:

• 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 2 tablespoons Corn Syrup
• 1/4 cup Brown Sugar

Heat until just shy of a simmer.

Remove cream from heat and add:

• 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, Good Quality
• 2 teaspoons Cocoa Powder
• 2 teaspoons Creme De Menthe
• 1 teaspoon Creme De Cocoa 
• 1 pinch Salt

Stir until chocolate is melted and fudge sauce is smooth.

Pour Mint Fudge Sauce into baked and cooled Oreo Cookie Crust. Place in freezer for 15 minutes while you make Creamy Mint Filling.

Whip 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream until light, fluffy and holds it shape. Being careful not to over mix or you will have butter. Set aside.

Mix together:

• 7 ounces Marshmallow Creme to mixing bowl
• Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 

While mixing on medium speed or by hand until creamy and smooth. 

Slowly add:

• 1/4 cup Creme De Menthe
• 2 tablespoons Cream De Cocoa 

To the Marshmallow Creme and mix until well incorporated.

Fold in Whipped Cream into Marshmallow/Creme De Menthe mixture until throughly combined and pour mixture over the chilled fudge layer and freeze for 8 hours or overnight.

It's easiest to cut if allowed to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Also if you run the knife under hot water and dry it will help slice through the pie.

Garnish with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings or crushed Oreos.

Defiantly a family favorite!
