Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups finely crushed thin chocolate wafer cookies (24 cookies)

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

  • 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.

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

Chocolate, mint and booze - this super grown-up pie has all the makings of the classic cocktail that inspired it. Use any leftover whipped cream to spike hot chocolate.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 5h5m

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

24 chocolate wafer cookies
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon creme de menthe
6 cups mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons creme de menthe
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pure peppermint extract
1 cup heavy cream
9 chocolate wafer cookies
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoons creme de menthe
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Process the cookies and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and creme de menthe, and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the filling: Microwave the marshmallows and butter in a microwave-proof bowl on high until the butter is melted and the marshmallows have broken down, about 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine, and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Beat the creme de menthe and heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy peaks form, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer, add 1/3 of the cooled marshmallow mixture and beat on medium-high until combined, about 15 seconds; repeat with the remaining marshmallow mixture in 2 batches. (The whipped cream won't hold its peaks, and the cream-marshmallow mixture will appear quite loose, but it firms quickly as it cools in the pie crust.) Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Cover the pie with plastic, and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
  • For the chocolate mint whipped cream: Beat the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and peppermint extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high speed until combined. Add the heavy cream, and beat on medium-high until fluffy peaks form.
  • To assemble: Arrange the wafer cookies on top of the pie. Top each cookie with 1/2 teaspoon creme de menthe (it will soak in almost immediately). Transfer the whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip, and pipe it onto the soaked cookies. Garnish with mint leaves. The pie can be refrigerated, loosely covered, up to overnight or served immediately. Serve with any extra leftover whipped cream on the side.

GRASSHOPPER PIE - NIGELLA LAWSON



Grasshopper Pie - Nigella Lawson image

Saw this on TV prepared by Nigella Lawson. I made it for a Halloween party where it went down a treat. I've made it a few times since and always had good feedback. Wanted to submit it here to save me searching the web for the recipe every time. (Sadly I'm not very organised and misplace my copy every time I print it off) You'll need a deep 25cm fluted tart tin with loose base to make the pie in.

Provided by K8tee

Categories     Pie

Time P1D

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

300 g bourbon biscuits (choc filled Oreos are the US equivalent)
50 g dark chocolate, good quality, chopped
50 g unsalted butter
150 g mini marshmallows
125 ml full fat milk
60 ml creme de menthe (4 tablespoons)
60 ml white Creme de Cacao (4 tablespoons)
375 ml double cream
2 -3 drops green food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Take out and set aside 1 biscuit.
  • Process the rest of the biscuits and chocolate in a food processor until they start to break down into a crumb mixture, then add the butter and carry on processing until it starts to clump together.
  • Press into a loose-based, high-sided tart tin and make a smooth base and sides with your hands or the back of a spoon. Put into the fridge to chill and harden.
  • Melt the marshmallows in a saucepan with the milk over a gentle heat, 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, and then whisk in the crème de menthe and crème de cacao. Leave to cool.
  • Whisk the cream until it starts to hold soft peaks then, still whisking, add the cooled marshmallow mix. 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. (NOTE - over whisking at this point can result in a 'separation' type effect and the mixture won't be so smooth - so if in doubt don't whisk too much.)
  • Once the marshmallow mixture and cream are combined, add a few drops of food colouring (unless you prefer not to) and gently mix inches (remember earlier warning re over whisking!).
  • Spread the filling into the chilled base tin, swirl it about with a palette knife or a spatula to fill evenly and put back in the fridge, covered, to chill overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours until firm.
  • Crush the biscuit you put aside earlier and sprinkle over the top of the pie before slicing.
  • The pie can be made 1-2 days ahead. When chilled and firm, tent with foil (try not to touch surface with foil as it will leave marks) and store in fridge. Decorate just before serving. The pie will keep 3-4 days total. Freeze Note The pie can be frozen for up to 3 months. Open-freeze undecorated pie just until solid, then wrap pie (still in its tart tin) in double layer of clingfilm and layer of foil. To defrost, unwrap pie and tent with foil (try not to touch surface with foil as it will leave marks), then defrost overnight in fridge. Decorate before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your pie.
  • Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cream. Overbeaten cream will become grainy and lose its volume.
