What Is Grasshopper Pie?

Grasshopper pie is a no-bake dessert that gets its name from the Grasshopper cocktail, a minty drink that originated in New Orleans. The fluffy mousse pie has a creme de menthe-flavored filling and a chocolate cookie crust. Grasshopper pie is often associated with Easter and St. Patrick's Day, but it's delicious all year round.

• Sandwich cookies and butter: This grasshopper pie crust is made with 25 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos) and a stick of melted butter.

"We have enjoyed this recipe in our family for years," says Laura Lynn. "When I make this, I use a 9x13-inch pan and make sure I freeze it for 24 hours. To make the whip cream quickly and stiff enough, I freeze a metal bowl and use a stand mixer."

"Wow, so good," raves Punkin09. "Everyone loved it. It was super easy to make and very delicious. I did use a premade Oreo crust, but I would like to try it with the homemade crust next time. I would also like to make the filling and layer it in a parfait glass with some brownies."

"I used Thin Mint cookies for the crust instead of Oreos," according to Linda M. "I like it minty!! It was fantastic. I took it to a friend's dinner party and it was the hit of the night."
