Grasshopper Pie

This recipe came from a restaurant in Mystic, Connecticut when Steve and I lived in Connecticut years ago. Our kids request this pie instead of a birthday cake on their birthdays! (Except Marissa)


GRASSHOPPER PIE

CRUST:
24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (or use a ready made chocolate crust)
1/4 c. butter, melted

FILLING:
2 c. heavy or whipping cream, whipped
5 TBSP crème de menthe
5 TBSP crème de cacao
1 large jar (8 oz.) marshmallow crème

Combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into 9" spring pan or regular pie pan. Reserve 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top of finished pie.

Whip the cream. Add crème de menthe and crème de cacao to marshmallow creme in a separate bowl. Mix gently until blended. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into cookie pie crust. Sprinkle with crumbs. Freeze for several hours.

Note: You can use 1 ½ cups heavy cream/whipping cream, instead of 2 cups.)
