Grasshopper Pie
This Grasshopper Pie is always the first to disappear! If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, you HAVE to try it! This pie is a simple, easy, no bake dessert perfect for summer time (or any time!)
Grasshopper Pie
What the heck is Grasshopper Pie?
The Grasshopper Pie is apparently related to the cocktail called The Grasshopper. The cocktail is equal parts crème de menthe, crème de cacao, and cream, which sounds….interesting, to say the least. The Grasshopper Pie became popular in the 1960s and is still a favorite to this day. There is just something amazing about mint and chocolate together, and I have a ton of recipes featuring this combo.
The Grasshopper Pie comes together really quickly, thanks to it being no bake. I use a store bought Oreo crust to simply things even more, but feel free to make your own!

Notes
If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, you will love this pie. The crushed cookies give a minty flavor throughout, and the color is festive and perfect for Christmas. This pie is always hogged down at get togethers, so make it soon!!
Yes, in Arkansas we say hogged down. It means that people ate it really hard and then it was gone.
I hope you enjoy. Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

YUM! I love grasshopper pie, and the drink isn’t too bad, either. :-) You crack me up, girlie. Thanks for always brightening my day.
Hilarious as always! Your husband is a saint!
I might start requiring daily giant pixie sticks too…. :)
You totally should. A giant tube of sugar? Necessary.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so if you get re-married again there have to blog about it before you leave…maybe while your husband is doing his stilts and possibly unicycle act in Cirque!
This pie looks delicious. I’m sorry your Grandpa Pat is no longer here to enjoy it with you but I’m certain if there are computers/laptops in heaven, he’s enjoying this and all your delightful posts.
We don’t get Keebler Grasshopper cookies here, otherwise I would be making this.
Oh my this reminds me of my NANA who made something like this………I love sweet memories.
My hubster can ride a unicycle. It probably makes me slightly cooler thank the average bum-wiping, dish-washing, house-cleaning,general chaos-calmer mom, right?
And I can’t wait to make this pie. I’ll probably sit down and eat it all by myself. The man may be able to ride a unicycle, but he has no appreciation for Grasshopper Goodness.
Wow. No wonder seem so cool. Jealous!!
You mean giant pixy sticks aren’t in everyone’s vows? Curious.
I’m so making this pie when my blood returns to normal instead of being pure corn syrup.
“People ate it really hard and then it was gone.” Best ten words of my life.
Agreed.
Totally normal vows….for vegas that is!
Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is my favorite :)
So how does he know how to walk on stilts? I’m thinking there’s a story there :)
Not sure but I *think* it has to do with growing up seriously broke. Amazing how kids can entertain themselves when expensive toys and electronics are removed from the equation!!
But I’ve never actually seen him on stilts so I suppose he could be lying. Which would suck because I’m really excited.
You and your husband are hilarious! Bahahaha!! Also, I want this pie.
So nice that this pie comes with such a wonderful memory.
On another note, I wish my text messages were half as amusing on a daily basis.
Wow, you have some crazy text conversations! Much more interesting than mine :).
Great looking pie! I’ve always been a fan of the of the Grasshopper cookies.
Thank you for starting off my day with a laugh :) This pie sounds great! I’m sad because we don’t have Grasshopper Cookies available where we are (we live in the boonies)…. but I am going to bookmark this recipe and try and get those cookies next trip to the city! Thanks for the recipe (and the great start to my day!)
I’m up here in Toronto (Canada) and just started reading your blog about a month ago, and I just had to say that you are hilarious. Seriously, you crack me up every time and I look forward to reading every morning :)
Yum! My husband is the BIGGEST fan of chocolate/mint. He would love this! I will definitely have to bookmark this…perhaps a birthday pie for him? :)
GF, you are a HOOT! Love this blog.
I love grasshopper cookies and this pie looks delish, plus it looks really easy!
I feel the exact same about my marriage. Lol. Going to make this pie for sure, It sounds phenomenal!!
Homemade stilts – take two of those giants cans that hold things green beans or corn that you buy at someplace like costco, empty them, punch two holes near the top and pull a string through, then have those strings be really long. Tie them at the top and use them for handles. You have to pull on the strings as you walk, to make the stilts (cans) go with your feet, but I’m pretty sure they’re good for beginners.
that is how I got started on my stilt walking adventures.
Oh yeah, I love grasshopper cookies. so yes to the pie
You make me laugh every day. Thank you!
Love you! Appreciate you!
I will take a slice…or two:) Love your posts!
feed me please.
I love Grasshopper pie! My MIL makes it for Christmas every year, and I eat about 1/2 the pie :)
Negative Nancy. There shall be no vow renewal in Vegas until we can go as a foursome!!
Giggle, giggle. Girl you are freaking hilarious. Not sure why my hubs has not mastered the unicycle. Unlikely to ever happen. Love the pie!
forget unicycles…all I ask is that the men in my house master hitting the bowl! Ive never had this, and now you have me curious. Like I need more pie!

Adorable. You’re simply adorable Kristan! I love reading your posts. I forwarded this to both my kids and said we need to make this together. What would I want my husband to learn …. hmmm PATIENCE. That would do ;-)
I want to make that pie asap!
Just so everyone knows. . .Sam’s Club sells giant pixie sticks in bulk ;)
Yum, Yum! This would go over huge at our house!!
Hilarious, you’re husband is so nice and tolerant. My boyfriend is the super goofy one in our relationship. Conversations always turn into something like, “… and then we can have fire coming out of the ice sculptures and have secret service escort people out” or some such totally not happening thing to which I reply, “and I hope your wife likes that cuz that’s not MY wedding”
Would this work with mint oreos? I feel like that could be an acceptable substitute.
I made this last weekend for an early St. Patrick’s Day get-together and it was sooo good! Not to mention it was really easy to put together!
Quick question. Does “chill” mean freezer or refridgerator? I just made this pie and stuck it in the fridge for 4 hours and it is still a little goopy. It may just need more time. Im going to make another one tomorrow and I want to make sure its done right. I also substituted neuchafatel for the cream cheese (could that be an issue?). The filling is so tasty tho, thank you so much for this easy recipe that ive somehow complicated hahaha!
