Ingredients

To make this scrumptious Grasshopper Pie, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pre-made chocolate pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup green crème de menthe (mint liqueur)
  • 1/2 cup crème de cacao (chocolate liqueur)
  • 1 packet (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

Now that you have everything you need, let’s dive into the steps to create this delightful pie:

  1. In a large bowl, begin by whipping the heavy cream. Once it starts to thicken, gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to whip until it reaches stiff peaks.
  2. In another bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth. Then, gradually incorporate the green crème de menthe and crème de cacao until fully combined.
  3. Carefully fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. This will lighten the mixture. Once combined, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain.
  4. Pour the filling into the pre-made chocolate pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, overnight chilling is recommended.
  6. When you’re ready to serve, garnish with chocolate shavings on top. Cut into slices and enjoy this minty, chocolatey treat!

This Grasshopper Pie not only tastes amazing but also looks stunning on any dessert table. The combination of mint and chocolate is a classic that never fails to please, making it an excellent choice for gatherings or simply when you want to indulge yourself a bit. Give it a try, and enjoy every bite!
