This Grasshopper Pie is a delightful no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo cookie crust and a fluffy, mint-chocolate marshmallow filling. Perfectly chilled and creamy, it’s a refreshing treat with the subtle flavors of creme de menthe and creme de cacao, topped optionally with whipped cream and chocolate curls for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 22 Oreo cookies
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch kosher salt

Filling

  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup creme de menthe
  • 2 tablespoons creme de cacao
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, very cold

Instructions

  1. Oreo crust: Add Oreo cookies with cream filling to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Alternatively, place cookies in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or mallet until you obtain fine crumbs.
  2. Prepare crust mixture: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl, then add melted butter and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until the mixture is thick and sandy in texture.
  3. Form crust: Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom using the flat bottom of a measuring cup, then press the mixture up the sides of the pan with your hands or the side of the measuring cup. Refrigerate the crust until ready to use.
  4. Make marshmallow filling: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine mini marshmallows, milk, and salt. Stir frequently until marshmallows are mostly melted. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  5. Whip cream: While the marshmallow mixture cools, add very cold heavy cream to a large bowl and whip with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until medium peaks form. Avoid overwhipping to prevent separation.
  6. Flavor filling: Once the marshmallow mixture has cooled to no longer warm, stir in the creme de menthe and creme de cacao until fully incorporated.
  7. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the flavored marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until evenly combined, maintaining the fluffy texture.
  8. Assemble the pie: Pour the marshmallow and cream filling into the prepared Oreo crust, spreading it evenly into a smooth layer.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for 4 hours to set and develop flavor. Serve chilled, optionally topped with additional whipped cream and chocolate curls for garnish.

Notes

  • The crust can be made ahead and kept refrigerated until filling is ready.
  • Be careful not to overwhip the cream to avoid separating.
  • The pie should be served cold to maintain the texture and flavor.
  • Optional toppings like whipped cream or chocolate curls add extra decoration and taste.
  • If creme de menthe or creme de cacao are unavailable, mint and chocolate extracts may be used as substitutes, adjusting quantities to taste.
