Of all the sweets – mint is our go-to flavor! Which means we LOVE everything about this grasshopper pie!

Our grasshopper pie delivers BIG on the mint flavors! The base is a simple Oreo cookie crust (a great place to start). We fill the crust with mint chocolate chip ice cream and top it with fresh whipped cream and crushed cookies – that’s it!

Because it’s an ice cream pie it can easily be made ahead of time for a special occasion (it’s a BIG hit on birthdays).

It’s SO easy to make! Only 5 ingredients and a couple of simple steps. It’s a dessert our kids love to whip up – like our Oreo Ice Cream Cake.

Why we think you’ll love it:

Only 5 ingredients! The crust, cookies, ice cream, whipping cream, and a garnish – now that’s EASY.
No bake dessert. No oven is required! This is a simple frozen dessert, perfect for making in advance – and great for beginners.
We all scream for ice cream. This chilled treat is perfect for warm summer days, but can be enjoyed anytime – after all every day is a good day for ice cream!

Kristyn’s Recipe Tips

Make mint ice cream by mixing softened vanilla ice cream with creme de menthe and green food coloring.
Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving, but it can be frozen for up to 5 days.
For easy clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water. Wipe and rewarm after each cut.
