  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

Grasshopper Pie is a classic no-bake dessert made with an Oreo cookie crust and a light, fluffy mint cheesecake filling. Creamy, refreshing, and irresistibly smooth, this vintage-inspired dessert is perfect for holidays, parties, and special occasions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Oreo Crust
  • 25 Oreo cookies
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Mint Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cold
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 34 drops green food coloring
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  2. Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze while preparing filling.
  3. Beat cold cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add powdered sugar, salt, mint extract, and green food coloring. Beat until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the mint cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
  7. Spread filling evenly into chilled crust.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30–60 minutes until set.
  9. Slice with a warm knife and serve.

Notes

Use cold cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture. Color filling slightly darker than desired—it will lighten once whipped cream is folded in.
