Print Recipe

A no-bake, creamy grasshopper pie featuring a crunchy Oreo crust and a fluffy minty filling, perfect for gatherings and easy to make in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 ½ cups finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 3 tablespoons crème de menthe liqueur (optional)
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies (including the filling) in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed (about 1 ½ cups of crumbs).
  2. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and stir in melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  3. Press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, then mix until fully combined and silky smooth.
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
  8. If using, stir in the crème de menthe liqueur and green food coloring until the color is even.
  9. Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips on top for garnish.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  12. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Press crust firmly and chill well to prevent crumbling. Soften cream cheese properly to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Refrigerate overnight for best texture. For non-alcoholic version, omit crème de menthe and increase peppermint extract slightly. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.
