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

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.

Joan@chocolateandmore says
March 13, 2012 at 3:58 amI 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 amIs there an alternative to the alcohol? My son loves Andes; but he’s only 4 !
Joan Hayes says
May 19, 2014 at 8:33 pmMy 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 http://shop.torani.com/Chocolate-Mint-Syrup/p/TOR-361507&c=Torani@Syrups

March 12, 2012 at 11:04 pmWow, 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!

March 12, 2012 at 11:17 pmSCRUMP! 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!
Joan@chocolateandmore says
March 13, 2012 at 4:04 amCarrie, 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!
Melissa Placzek says

Aya in Tokyo says
March 3, 2014 at 3:49 amHi 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 amI’d give it a try, it should work!
Carrie says
March 16, 2014 at 8:29 pmMade this twice and was awesome both times! DELICIOUS!
Sarah says
May 22, 2014 at 7:53 amIt 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 amI 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.
Sarah says
May 22, 2014 at 9:28 amJust 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.
Amber says
June 3, 2014 at 2:30 amVery 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
Mary says
November 24, 2014 at 9:18 pmI 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.
AL Wunder says
October 19, 2015 at 2:54 amwas wondering if there was a way to make this without alcohol.
