Grasshopper Pie
If you love the refreshing combination of chocolate and mint, this Grasshopper Pie is a must-try! With a crunchy Oreo cookie crust and a light, fluffy marshmallow-mint filling, this no-bake dessert is perfect for hot summer days, St. Patrick’s Day, or even a festive Christmas treat.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup crushed oreo cookie crumbs, or 17 cookies, crushed
- 3 Tablespoons melted butter
- 28 jumbo marshmallows
- 1/2 cup milk
- mint flavoring
- green food coloring
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: To make the oreo cookie crust, mix the melted butter with oreo cookie crumbs and press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Reserve a few to sprinkle over the top. Place in the refrigerator to set.
- Step 2: Make the marshmallow mixture: Add milk to the marshmallows and melt together in the microwave. Times vary based on strength of microwaves. I start with 1 minute, and stir after every interval until they are fully melted. If you don't have a microwave, they can be melted on the stovetop while stirring constantly. Once the marshmallows are melted and smooth, add in green food coloring and mint flavoring to taste. Start with just a little and add more as you wish. Cool the marshmallow mixture before adding the whipped cream.
- Whip the whipping cream in the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, adding sugar and vanilla to taste. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled marshmallow mixture.
- Pour the filling into the oreo crust and sprinkle with reserved oreo crumbs on top.
- Chill in refrigerator before cutting and serving.

How to Portion, Serve, and Adapt This Recipe
- Cooking for Two? Make a smaller batch by halving the ingredients and using a 6-inch mini pie dish or ramekins for individual servings.
- Serving a Crowd? Double the recipe and use a 9×13-inch pan for easy slicing.
- No Pie Pan? Use an 8-inch square dish instead—it works just as well!
Tips & Tricks
- Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before adding the filling to help it hold its shape.
- Cool the marshmallow mixture before folding in whipped cream—this keeps it fluffy.
- Make ahead – This pie stores well in the fridge for up to 2 days, making it a great dessert to prepare in advance!
- Use Oreo Crumbs instead of crushing the cookies if you are pressed for time. But crushed oreos (with the filling) makes the BEST crust!
Substitutions & Variations
- Swap mint flavoring for peppermint extract if you prefer a bolder mint taste.
- Use graham crackers instead of Oreos for a different crust option.
- Make it extra indulgent by adding mini chocolate chips to the filling!
