Make this easy, cool, and creamy Grasshopper Pie with a chocolate cookie crust. This non-alcoholic version uses mint extract for a refreshing flavor everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 24 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint 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 mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium 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 with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring (if using). Beat until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Prepare the whipped cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold the mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the filling to remain light and fluffy.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the creamy mint filling evenly into the chilled chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  7. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top of the pie with mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve this refreshing summer pie directly from the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use chocolate sandwich cookies like Oreos, scraping out the white filling first.
  • If you prefer a frozen mint dessert texture, freeze the pie for 2 to 3 hours instead of chilling it completely.
  • You can substitute the peppermint extract with 1 tablespoon of crème de menthe liqueur if you prefer an alcoholic version, but remember to omit the peppermint extract in that case.
