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.

I would make this pie again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less sugar and I would add some chopped nuts to the crust.

This pie is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

This pie is really sweet, so it's best to serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but I still enjoyed this pie. The chocolate and cream cheese filling is delicious.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This grasshopper pie was a hit at my last dinner party. The combination of chocolate, mint, and cream cheese is divine. The crust is also very easy to make.
