Grasshopper pie is a no-bake mint-chocolate pie spiked with crème de menthe and layered on an Oreo crust. Your go-to St. Patrick’s Day dessert!
The post Grasshopper Pie Recipe appeared first on Brown Eyed Baker.
Grasshopper pie, named for its bright green color, is a rich yet refreshing dessert. This no-bake pie recipe is festive, quick to make and requires just a few ingredients. It features a silky smooth filling spiked with crème de menthe and crème de cacao, nestled into an Oreo cookie crust. Grasshopper pie will be your go-to St. Patrick’s Day dessert!
Growing up, I’m not sure anything was better than going out to eat at Olive Garden and having Andes mints get strewn on the table along with the check at the end of the meal. I loved those little mint chocolate candies and would try to steal as many as I could.
I’ve always loved the combination of smooth chocolate and refreshing mint, so it came as no surprise that I loved my first grasshopper cocktail when I tried it in college. Fast forward a few more years and I fell in love all over again with this grasshopper pie.
The filling in grasshopper pie is such a festive green color that it’s sure to bring out your St. Patrick’s Day spirit. It doesn’t hurt that the added liqueur makes for a boozy treat with all the flavors of a grasshopper cocktail.
You don’t have to stop there, though. Not only does this make a great St. Patrick’s Day pie, but it would also be wonderfully refreshing during the summer, and festive enough for the winter holidays.
This recipe doesn’t use too many ingredients, and you may already have many of them in your kitchen.
There is a total infusion of chocolate and mint flavors in this pie, which begins with the crust. Instead of using a plain ol’ chocolate cookie crumb crust, Cool Mint Oreos are used for an even bigger pop of flavor. Add to that a healthy dose of crème de menthe and crème de cacao, and you have a perfectly balanced, fantastic-tasting pie.
The texture of the filling is a cross between a meringue, a Jell-O dessert, and a cream pie. It’s smooth, creamy, light and airy. The best part about this mint-flavored pie is that it has a gelatin-based filling instead of the traditional marshmallow creme. This substitution makes for a smoother consistency and a bolder mint flavor in the filling.
While both ingredients are alcohol-based, liqueur tends to have a more natural flavor than extracts do. Because the overall flavor is also less intense, you can use more liqueur without compromising the texture of the filling like other liquids might.
White crème de cacao, in particular, has a very unique flavor that is hard to find with extracts since it also has hints of vanilla.
Substitute for Crème de Menthe
Crème de menthe is a mint-flavored liqueur that is 50 percent alcohol by volume. The alcohol does not cook out, so it’s important to note that, as written, this recipe is not kid-friendly.
The good news is, there is a simple substitute! To make the grasshopper pie recipe non-alcoholic, omit the mint and chocolate liqueurs. Instead, use ½ teaspoon of pure peppermint extract and ½ cup of milk.
It will take you less than an hour to assemble the pie. After that, it needs to chill for several more hours, or even overnight.
If you’re looking for more tasty chocolate and mint combinations, try my No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Pie recipe, Grasshopper Chocolate Bark, and Grasshopper Brownies.
I hope you’ll put this on your menu for St. Patrick’s Day, a summer get-together, or Christmas! If you make it, I’d love if you would take a moment to stop back and share a review below. ENJOY! 😍

Take one cookie, disassemble it and stuff it inside another cookie… is that considered cookie cannibalism?
If that’s wrong, well, I don’t want to be right.
These soft and chewy chocolate cookies are ever so decadent, made with ample amounts of rich, Dutch-processed cocoa and studded with crushed up sandwich cookies that also gives these cookies a delightful crunch.
Sounds good, doesn’t it?
And I certainly could’ve stopped there and had myself a fantastic cookies ‘n cream cookie recipe.
But, if you know me at all, you know that I like to take things over the top… which typically involves stuffing one good thing inside another good thing (indeed, stuffed desserts are some of my favorite things to make).
And so, I stuffed these already over-the-top cookies with a hidden layer of vanilla cream.
