GRASSHOPPER PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

32 chocolate sandwich cookies
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Two 7-ounce containers marshmallow creme
2/3 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur, or more to taste
2 tablespoons creme de cacao liqueur
1 to 2 drops green food coloring, optional
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize. (Or, if you have some aggression or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin!) Set a small handful of crumbs aside to sprinkle over the finished pie. Pour the rest into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
  • Heat the marshmallow and half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it's all melted and combined, place the saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool down quickly. (Stirring occasionally will hasten this process.) Once cool, add the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Taste and add more creme de menthe if needed. Add the green food coloring if using.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream until stiff. Pour the cold marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and fold together gently. Pour the filling into the chocolate crust. Sprinkle over the reserved cookie crumbs.
  • Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes or so before you want to slice and serve.

GRASSHOPPER PIE



Grasshopper Pie image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

28 chocolate creme filled sandwich cookies (recommended: Oreo or Newman-O's)
2 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or 1/4 cup chips)
3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup creme de menthe
1/4 cup creme de cacao blanc
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Few spots or drops green food coloring, optional
1 loose-bottomed 10-inch fluted tart pan, 2 inches deep

Steps:

  • Set aside 1 cookie for later use. Process the remaining cookies and chocolate in a food processor until they form a crumb mixture. Add the butter and process until the mixture starts to clump together.
  • Press the mixture into a high-sided fluted tart pan, making a smooth base and sides with your hands or the back of a spoon. Put it into the refrigerator to chill and harden.
  • Melt the marshmallows in a saucepan over low gentle heat along with the milk. Once the milk starts to foam (not boil), take off the heat and keep stirring until the marshmallows blend into the milk to make a smooth mixture.
  • Pour the mixture out of the saucepan into a heatproof bowl, then whisk in the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Leave until cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to hold soft peaks then, still whisking, add the cooled marshmallow mixture. This filling should be thick but still soft, not stiff or dry, so that it will eventually drop easily out of the bowl into the chilled pie crust.
  • When the marshmallow mixture and cream are combined, whisk in a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
  • Spread the filling into the chilled base, swirling it about with an icing spatula or silicone spatula to fill evenly. Put the pie in the refrigerator, covered, to chill overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours until firm.
  • Crush the remaining cookie and sprinkle it over the top of the pie before serving.

GRASSHOPPER PIE



Grasshopper Pie image

Categories     Bake     Mint

Yield Makes 1 (10-inch) pie; serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 recipe Brownie Pie (page 124), prepared through step 8
1 recipe Mint Cheesecake Filling (recipe follows)
20 g mini chocolate chips (2 tablespoons)
25 g mini marshmallows (1/2 cup)
1 recipe Mint Glaze (recipe follows), warm

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grab a sheet pan and put your pie tin of graham crust on it. Pour the mint cheesecake filling into the shell. Pour the brownie batter on top of it. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the batter and mint filling, teasing up streaks of the mint filling so they show through the brownie batter.
  • Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips into a small ring in the center of the pie, leaving the bull's-eye center empty. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows into a ring around the ring of chocolate chips.
  • Bake the pie for 25 minutes. It should puff slightly on the edges but still be jiggly in the center. The mini chocolate chips will look as if they are beginning to melt, and the mini marshmallows should be evenly tanned. Leave the pie in the oven for an additional 3 to 4 minutes if this is not the case.
  • Cool the pie completely before finishing it. (You can speed up the cooling process by carefully transferring the pie to the fridge or freezer directly out of the oven if you're in a hurry.)
  • Now the pie needs to be Jackson-Pollocked with mint glaze. Make sure your glaze is still warm to the touch. Dunk the tines of a fork into the warm glaze, then dangle the fork about 1 inch above the bull's-eye center of the pie.
  • Transfer the pie to the fridge so the mint glaze firms up before serving-which will happen as soon as it's cold, about 15 minutes. Wrapped in plastic, the pie will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • notes
  • You'll need less than a full recipe of brownie pie filling. Save the excess brownie batter that won't squeeze into the pie and bake it in cupcake molds!

GRASSHOPPER PIE



Grasshopper Pie image

Grasshopper pie was a favorite of Southern hostesses in the 1950s and '60s. We've updated the recipe, infusing the filling with fresh mint and adding coconut to the crust.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pie plate
3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 1/2 cups (about 25) crushed chocolate wafer cookies
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1 cup loosely packed mint leaves
3 tablespoons green creme de menthe
1 envelope (1/4 ounce) unflavored gelatin
5 large egg yolks
1 bar (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate, chilled
Freshly whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate. Whisk together coconut, cookie crumbs, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter, and stir until well combined. Press crumb mixture into pie plate. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups cream and the mint just to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover. Let steep 15 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a glass measuring cup. Discard the mint, and set cream aside. Beat the remaining cup cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; cover, and refrigerate.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put creme de menthe in a medium heatproof bowl, and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl; set aside. Add steeped cream to gelatin mixture, whisking until well combined.
  • Set bowl with cream mixture over a pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved and mixture is hot to the touch, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, pour hot cream mixture in a slow, steady stream into egg-yolk mixture. Return mixture to heatproof bowl; set over pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer bowl to ice-water bath; whisk until mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from bath. Add one-third of reserved whipped cream; whisk until combined. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon mixture into pie crust; refrigerate until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Just before serving, scrape a chef's knife along surface of chocolate bar to make shavings. Spoon dollops of whipped cream onto pie, if desired, and top with chocolate shavings.

GRASSHOPPER PIE



Grasshopper Pie image

This is a recipe from my husband's mother. It doesn't take long to make and is a tasty treat around the holidays. We always have it at St. Patricks Day. You can also use about 300 ml whipping cream, whipped, in place of the Dream Whip.

Provided by Sackville

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package chocolate wafer
6 tablespoons melted butter
24 large marshmallows
2/3 cup milk
3 tablespoons creme de menthe
2 tablespoons Creme de Cacao
1 envelope Dream Whip

Steps:

  • To make the crust, crush chocolate wafers and mix with melted butter.
  • Press into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate.
  • An alternative is to just take the whole wafers and line the pie plate with them, breaking them in half where necessary to fill in the gaps.
  • Then melt the marshmallows and milk in a saucepan, over a low heat.
  • Once melted, add creme de menthe and creme de cacao.
  • Prepare one envelope of Dream Whip, fold into marshmallow mixture, put into crust and chill.
  • To decorate, break a chocolate wafer in half and rub the two edges together over the pie to make a nice sprinkling of chocolate crumbs.
  • This is a fun dessert around Saint Paddy's day, but if you want to make it for Christmas, substitute crushed candy canes, melted into the milk, for the creme de menthe.
