Blast. From. The. Past. This minty, creamy dream of a dessert brings back memories of Christmas Eve when my mom would serve it alongside her elaborate trays of cookies and bars.
Everyone loved Grasshopper Pie, even the kiddos who were only allow small bites due to the fact it’s laden with booze! Featuring creme de menthe and creme de cacao, it’s really a grasshopper cocktail in pie form. It’s a no bake pie and made even easier if you buy a pre-made Oreo pie crust.
You can garnish the pie with leftover Oreo crumbs, or how about some chocolate curls and Christmas sprinkles?
If you are into boozy desserts (I am!), then you should give this festive, retro recipe a try for your next adults-only celebration.
