Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Very easy, no-bake recipe for a grasshopper mousse pie!
  • Silky smooth mousse filling with an Oreo pie crust!
  • Not made with alcohol or crรจme de cacao.
  • Smooth chocolate mint flavor that's perfect for Thanksgiving and St. Patrick's Day alike!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Heavy Cream -  aka...heavy whipping cream. If you want to substitute cool whip for fresh whipped cream, you can. You will need 2 (8oz) containers.
  • Crรจme De Menthe Extract - I have found this extract to go by just "Mint Extract" as well as "Spearmint Extract." Sometimes the extract name varies by brand. However, please note this is not the same mint as peppermint extract.
  • Mint Oreos - The Oreo pie crust for this recipe is made from the mint crรจme filled Oreos. You can use regular Oreos; however, the mint filling definitely adds to the pie. If you choose to use regular Oreos, you will need to add 2 additional tablespoons of butter to the crust to make it hold together.
  • Andes Mint Chips - If you can't find a bag of these chips, you can always just buy a box of regular Andes mints and chop them up.

How to Make Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions

  • Crush the mint Oreos in a food processor into fine crumbs.
  • Press some crumbs in your hand to see how well they hold together. With these particular Oreo cookies, sometimes I need to add a tablespoon of butter to the crumbs, and sometimes I don't. If you need to add a little butter, do so now.
  • Press the cookie crumbs on a 9-inch pie plate to make the mint chocolate crust.
Prepare the Oreo cookie crust!
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, pour ยฝ cup heavy cream over 1 cup of chocolate chips and ยผ teaspoon salt.
  • Microwave in 20 to 30-second intervals just until the chips are melted enough to whisk smooth.
  • If you get them too hot, they may scorch, but will for sure take forever to cool.
  • Cool the smooth chocolate mixture to room temperature.
  • To cool faster, pop it in the fridge or freezer, stirring here and there, keeping an eye on it so it only cools but doesn't get cold.
  • Whisk in 2 teaspoon Mint or Crรจme De Menthe Extract.
Melt the chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature!
  • In a deep bowl or measuring cup, whip 1 cup of heavy cream and โ…› cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • For more instructions on whipping cream, see this How to Make Whipped Cream article.
Whip a cup of the heavy cream to stiff peaks!
  • FOLD the melted mint chocolate into the whipped cream to make the creamy mint filling.
  • Check out this video on How to Fold if you're not sure how.
  • Spread evenly over the Oreo crust.
  • Chill for 6 hours before serving.
  • Whip the remaining ยฝ cup of cream with โ…› cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to garnish your pie slices with.
  • Sprinkle each slice with Andes mint chips and mint leaves as well!
  • Chocolate shavings or chocolate curls also make delicious garnishes!
  • Slice with a sharp knife that's been run under really hot water and quickly (but carefully) dried for a smooth cut.
Fold the chocolate into the cream, then fill the chocolate crumb crust to complete your grasshopper mint pie!

Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

How long is this pie good?

It's a smooth chocolate mint. It's originated from a popular drink with a green color made from crรจme de menthe and crรจme de cacao.

The flavor mimics the popular dinner drink, the grasshopper cocktail.
