Grasshopper Pudding Pie

Good morning! I hope you’re all ready for June, because its HERE! Time flies when you’re having fun, right? And what’s more fun than this cute Grasshopper Pie?! Since Oreos are the kids’ favorite, we decided to change the original recipe from wafers and I’m so glad we did. Besides it looking super pretty, it also tasted really good. Sometimes there is nothing better than an Oreo dessert, especially on a HOT day like today!

We have always been fans of the grasshopper flavor (mint + Oreo), and hope you are too. If so, you’ll love this recipe because it’s simple, tasty and cool. We love that this can be changed up any way. For example, you can substitute the mint flavoring for any other flavoring and change the pudding to vanilla or chocolate to make it a whole new dessert. I think next time we will try a strawberry version with strawberry pudding. YUM!

This is a great dessert to try out during the summer. Like I mentioned, it’s easy and is one the kids can help to make too. Here’s the recipe…
