Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

30 Oreo cookies (divided (not quite a full package))
4 Tablespoons butter (melted)
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 quart mint chip ice cream
Chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Finely crush 20 of the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by pounding them inside a large Ziploc bag with something heavy like a rolling pin until they are just crumbs with no large pieces remaining and have the appearance of course sand. It should be about 2 cups of crushed Oreos.
  • Mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a medium bowl until they resemble wet sand, then press into the bottom of a pie dish, a 9- or 10-inch springform pan, or square baking dish. I find using the bottom of a clean glass works best for this. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool completely.
  • When crust has completely cooled, pull both ice cream flavors from the freezer and allow them to soften slightly. Using a large spoon, scoop the vanilla ice cream out in large, flat chunks, and place them on top of the crust in the bottom of your pan. Cover the vanilla layer with a piece of plastic wrap and use your hands to press it down into a flat layer. The warmth of your hands will help smooth out the layer a bit. Discard the plastic wrap.
  • Break up the 10 remaining Oreos into chunks, then sprinkle them evenly over the vanilla layer. Repeat the process of scooping ice cream in large flat chunks with the mint chip ice cream, pressing it down onto the layers of vanilla ice cream and Oreos until the top of the pie is flat. If you have more ice cream than fits in your pan, just mound it up in the center for a mile high ice cream pie. Cover with clean plastic wrap and freeze for 4-6 hours until the ice cream freezes solid again.
  • Remove plastic wrap from the top of the ice cream pie and unmold from the springform pan (if using). Slice into 10-12 slices, then plate and drizzle each slice with chocolate syrup before serving.

Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups finely crushed thin chocolate wafer cookies (24 cookies)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
32 large marshmallows (from 10-oz bag)
1/4 cup green or white crème de menthe
3 tablespoons white crème de cacao
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
Few drops green food color, if desired
2 tablespoons reserved crumbs
Grated semisweet baking chocolate, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir crust ingredients until well mixed. Reserve 2 tablespoons crumbs for garnish. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of 9-inch glass pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on cooling rack 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, heat milk and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, just until marshmallows are melted. Refrigerate about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. (If mixture becomes too thick, place saucepan in bowl of warm water and stir mixture until proper consistency.) Gradually stir in crème de menthe and crème de cacao.
  • In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Gradually increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold marshmallow mixture into whipped cream. Fold in food color.
  • Spread filling in cooled baked crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs and grated chocolate. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until set. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Chill Your Ingredients: Before you start making the pie, make sure all of your ingredients are cold. This will help the pie set properly and give it a creamier texture.
  • Make the Pie Crust Ahead of Time: You can make the pie crust up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the pie.
  • Use a Springform Pan: A springform pan is the best type of pan to use for this pie because it makes it easy to remove the pie from the pan once it's baked.
  • Don't Overmix the Filling: Overmixing the filling can result in a grainy texture. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Freeze the Pie Before Serving: Freezing the pie for at least 4 hours before serving will help it set properly and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Grasshopper ice cream pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its creamy filling, chocolate cookie crust, and minty flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
