Chocolate Chocolate and More!

Welcome to my baking adventures.

Grasshopper Pie

Grasshopper Pie – Chocolate Cookies, Andes Mint Candies and Creme de Menthe Combine to make this delightful frozen treat.
 
Grasshopper Pie-Chocolate Cookies, Andes Mint Candies and Creme de Menthe Combine to make this delightful frozen treat.
 
This is one of my daughter’s favorite desserts.

When she saw I was making it, she asked if I was making it for her birthday (not for a month still.) She always asks for this for her birthday and I sometimes will make it for her then but pie isn’t always the best choice for a now 12 year olds birthday with friends.

I made this pie for you. Yes I did. Because I wanted to. And because I wanted to make something green that wasn’t a vegetable. For St. Patty’s Day.

And I even talked my friends into making some things for you for St. Patty’s Day.

Because I care.

Debi over at Recipe for my Boys made Colcannon and Irish Stew
Carrie from Carrie’s Experimental Kitchen made an Irish FeastIrish Feast
Kimiko at Beachside Baker made a Shamrock Shake
Melissa at Chin Deep made Apple Bramble Cake with Bushmill’s Custard
Lesa at Edesia’s Notebook made Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
Michaela at Affair from the Heart made Irish Cream Cheesecake

Be sure to check these out, only the best for my friends, from my friends!

So back to this pie.

It’s fast and easy to make, it’s just the waiting to eat it that’s hard. Oh and sharing it. Make sure the people you share with are worth it.

Groovy Grasshopper Pie
from Forrest Gump: My Favorite Chocolate Recipes this is one of my favorite cookbooks

Grasshopper Pie

Grasshopper Pie

recipe source [ChocolateChocolateandmore.com|http://chocolatechocolateandmore.com/]

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Chocolate wafer crumbs (I used chocolate graham crackers)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (6 ounce) package Andes mint wafers
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup creme de menthe
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Instructions

  1. Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter, stirring till all combined. Gently press into a greased pie dish to create a loose crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
  2. While crust is baking, cut mints up so you have some large pieces for garnishing and the rest smaller. This will happen anyway as you're chopping. Set aside.
  3. Combine Marshmallows, sugar and remaining butter in a double boiler (you can do this in a regular saucepan if you don't have a double boiler.) Cook until marshmallows are completely melted and well combined.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in Creme De Menthe.Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Fold in whipped whipped cream And your smaller bits of chopped mints. Pour into pie crust. Garnish with remaining chopped mints and freeze until firm.

      I should feel bad feeding this to my kids with the alcohol in it but it’s just so good, and it’s only a little bit.

      • Natalie says

        May 18, 2014 at 5:34 am

        Is there an alternative to the alcohol? My son loves Andes; but he’s only 4 !

        • Joan Hayes says

          May 19, 2014 at 8:33 pm

          My kids love this pie and it only comes out to be about 1/4 teaspoon of creme de menthe per slice but you can also substitute with a Mint coffee syrup if you can find it. I love this one from Torani, it’s a chocolate mint syrup https://shop.torani.com/Chocolate-Mint-Syrup/p/TOR-361507&c=Torani@Syrups

    Hi there! I’m a big fan of all your recipes.
    Can I use mint syrup such as those to make mojito instead of creme de menthe? I’m now pregnant and would not like to use alcohol if possible. I’d really love to try this pie though!!

    • Joan Hayes says

      March 3, 2014 at 9:33 am

      I’d give it a try, it should work!

  24. Carrie says

    March 16, 2014 at 8:29 pm

    Made this twice and was awesome both times! DELICIOUS!

  25. Sarah says

    May 22, 2014 at 7:53 am

    It would be helpful to know what size pie dish you use. My 9.5 inch was way too big for the amount of “crust”. Took a foil one from a frozen pie that is smaller – hope everything fits in it.

    • Joan Hayes says

      May 22, 2014 at 9:08 am

      I use a 9 inch pie plate but if yours is a little large or smaller, don’t let it stop you from making this pie.

  26. Sarah says

    May 22, 2014 at 9:28 am

    Just finsihed the pie. You probably did use a 9.5 inch pie plate. I will also do so next time, but will have to make more “crust” for it to go up the sides of the plate. The smaller pie plate was way too small and everything ran over. Not a good desert for those who have drawers in their freezer and not everything has fit in the pan/dish.

  27. Amber says

    Very excited to make this and your recipe for andes mint chocolate ice cream. Plan on using mint extract instead of creme de menthe. Hope it works! Looks so good

  28. Mary says

    November 24, 2014 at 9:18 pm

    I bought a premade crust how much butter should I use if I do that? Also could I use cool whip instead of whipping cream? Thanks.

  29. AL Wunder says

    October 19, 2015 at 2:54 am

    was wondering if there was a way to make this without alcohol.
