Andes Grasshopper Pie

Andes Grasshopper Pie

The first thing you will need to do is head to the grocery store and pick up a few items if you do not already have them laying around.

Ingredients:

grasshopper pie4

  • 1 1/4 cup Chocolate wafer crumbs (I used chocolate graham crackers)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (6 ounce) package Andes mint wafers
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup creme de menthe
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

 

Instructions:

  1. Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and melted butter, stirring till all combined. Gently press into a greased pie dish to create a loose crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
  2. While crust is baking, cut mints up so you have some large pieces for garnishing and the rest smaller. This will happen anyway as you're chopping. Set aside.
  3. Combine Marshmallows, sugar and remaining butter in a double boiler (you can do this in a regular saucepan if you don't have a double boiler.) Cook until marshmallows are completely melted and well combined.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in Creme De Menthe.Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Fold in whipped cream And your smaller bits of chopped mints.
  6. Pour into pie crust. Garnish with remaining chopped mints and freeze until firm.

There you have it. A mint dessert everyone will love. It's a rich, silky smooth way to end the perfect meal. So tell us, do you have a favorite childhood dessert? What is the one flavor that takes you back to being a kid? let us know in the comments below.

    I’d swap out the Ande’s mint for fresh garlic
