Classic No-Bake Grasshopper Pie

• Prep time: 20 minutes
• Chill time: 4 hours (or overnight)
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tbsp green crème de menthe liqueur
• 2 tbsp white crème de cacao liqueur
• Optional: 1–2 drops green food coloring (for a brighter color)
• Optional garnish: Shaved chocolate or crushed Oreos

Note: If you prefer an alcohol-free version, substitute the liqueurs with 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract and 1 drop of green food coloring.

Instructions

1. Make the Crust Place the Oreos into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and pulse a few times to combine. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place the crust in the freezer to set while you make the filling.

2. Whip the Cream In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

3. Blend the Base In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is completely smooth and free of lumps. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk, beating constantly until well combined.

4. Add the Flavor and Color Add the crème de menthe and crème de cacao (or the peppermint extract and food coloring) to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until the color is uniform.

5. Fold Together Gently fold the whipped cream into the mint mixture using a rubber spatula just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as you want to keep the filling light and fluffy.

6. Chill and Serve Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth out the top. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or freeze for 2 hours) until firm. Garnish with chocolate shavings or extra crushed Oreos right before slicing.
