Make this cool, creamy, and refreshing Grasshopper Pie without turning on your oven. This non-alcoholic recipe uses mint extract for a bright flavor set in a simple chocolate cookie crust, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 28 Oreos, filling removed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (or more, to taste)
  • 1–2 drops green food coloring (optional, for classic color)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
  • Optional topping: Whipped topping, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips

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 until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup of powdered sugar and the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add mint flavor and color: Mix in the peppermint extract and green food coloring, if using, until you reach your desired mint flavor and color.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold together: 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.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon the mint filling evenly into the chilled chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: 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 with whipped topping, chocolate shavings, or mini chocolate chips. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, use whole Oreos (filling included) when crushing.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer, more frozen texture, you can freeze this pie for up to 2 hours before serving, but it is best served chilled.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint extract carefully; a little goes a long way in this creamy mint chocolate dessert.
