Make this easy, no-bake grasshopper pie featuring a creamy mint filling and a chocolate cookie crust. This version uses mint extract for a family-friendly flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
  • Whipped topping, thawed, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and green food coloring, if using. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate syrup until they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  6. Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
  8. Before serving, top the pie with thawed whipped topping and extra chocolate syrup or shavings.

Notes

  • For a richer chocolate flavor in the crust, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the crumbs and butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a firmer pie, you can freeze it for 2 to 3 hours before serving.
  • If you want an alcoholic version, substitute 2 tablespoons of crème de menthe for 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream when whipping.
