Grasshopper Pie 

Recipe via AllRecipes 

Ingredients

·        20 oreo cookies (40 halves), fillings discarded, cookies crushed or Famous Wafers crushed

·        5 Tbsp butter, melted

·        3/4 cup hot milk (I use unheated milk and heat milk and marshmallows together at the same time)

·        24 large marshmallows

·        1/4 cup green creme de menthe liqueur

·        2 tablespoons white creme de cacao

·        1 cup whipping cream, whipped

·        Optional A drop or two of green food dye.

Method

1.   Preheat oven to 425°F. 

In a bowl, mix crushed oreo cookie halves and butter. Pat into bottom and sides of 10 inch pie dish. 

Bake in oven for 5 to 10 minutes; remove from oven and cool completely. 

Once cooled, place in freezer to chill.

2.   In saucepan, melt marshmallows in milk over medium heat. 

Remove from heat and cool. 

Add creme de menthe and creme de cacao, and mix well. 

Add a drop or two of green food dye if desired. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into chilled pie shell. 

Freeze for 3 or  4 hours.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Yield: Serves 8.

* I use a 9” pie dish and usually use Famous Chocolate Wafers.

** I don’t heat the milk before I pour it into the marshmallows. I heat them together.

***I don’t let the marshmallow mixture cool completely before adding the crème de menthe and cocao as the rest of the ingredients mix better if it is not cold.
