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.

Beautiful! Thank you so much for making this for me and for letting me be a part of your St. Patty’s Day celebration! <3 and hugs Dear Friend!
YUMMY! I love everything about this pie. Perfect St. Pat’s selection. Thanks for gathering us together for this blog hop, and thanks for taking the time to talk me through my questions. ๐ This is going to be fun!
xoxo,

Thanks to you both! A party’s just a group of people unless you’re partying with friends!
This is one of my kids favorites, too!! Thank you for including me in your St. Patty’s Day blog hop!!
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.
Is there an alternative to the alcohol? My son loves Andes; but he’s only 4 !
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

Carrie, you’re not late, this is a never ending party! All the submissions were great, and I loved your feast. Your potatoes will definitely be making an appearance on our dinner plates soon!
Wow, this looks great…can you believe I’ve actually never tasted grasshopper pie before? I think this is a great opportunity to try, especially after seeing how nice yours turned out!
Thanks so much for organizing the blog hop, I had a lot of fun deciding on a green recipe! Hopefully we can do more “bloggy” things together in the future!

If you like mint, you will love it! Glad you could join in on the party!
SCRUMP! This looks fantastic!
I read the other day about a Grasshopper drink? This grasshopper stuff is new to me, but totally looks right up my alley!
Carrie, you lead a sheltered life, need to get you out more often. If you need someone to test out the Grasshopper drink with you, let me know!
Carrie! I didn’t know that you know Joan! *sings “It’s a Small World After All* hee hee. ๐
Goodness gracious that looks divine!!!
Thank you!

I LOVE grasshopper pie but rarely make it because I am the only one who likes minty desserts ๐ I think this one looks absolutely gorgeous!
Looks delicious! Have pinned it!
I must say that I love green things that aren’t vegetables too:-) What a yummy looking pie for a birthday!! And I would have licked the plate clean too:-) Thank you for sharing on Trick or Treat Tuesday!!!
OMG!!!!! I want this NOW!!! I LOVE mint and chocolate, and things cold, and pie, and desserts and yumminess, and…
Ok, I think my coffee this morning has sent me into the next orbit. Feeling a little hyper.
Wanna dance?

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!!
I’d give it a try, it should work!
Made this twice and was awesome both times! DELICIOUS!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
was wondering if there was a way to make this without alcohol.
