Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 24 Oreos)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon green food coloring (optional, for vibrant color)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup of powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Add the mint flavor: Mix in the mint extract and green food coloring, if using, until the color is uniform.
- Fold in the topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Prepare the fresh whipped cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and remaining 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Combine fillings: Gently fold the fresh whipped cream into the mint cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. This creates the fluffy mint filling.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the mint filling evenly into the chilled chocolate cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
- Serve: Slice and serve this refreshing summer dessert cold.
Notes
- For an extra rich crust, use Mint Oreos instead of regular chocolate cookies.
- If you prefer a frozen grasshopper pie, freeze the assembled pie for 4 hours before serving.
- You can use a store-bought chocolate graham cracker crust to save prep time.
