Grasshopper Pie
(from SallyV’s recipe box)
Sooo Good! This recipe is well over 30 years old. I believe it’s from an old Betty Crocker cookbook.

Ingredients
- 1-1/2 c. chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 1/4 c. melted butter
- 32 lg. or 3 c. mini marshmallows
- 1/2 c. milk
- 1/4 c. crème de menthe
- 1/4 c. white crème de cacao
- 1-1/2 c. heavy cream
- Green food coloring
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-
Combine the cookie crumbs, powdered sugar and melted butter, stirring well, and press into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake 10 minutes; cool completely.
-
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the marshmallows and milk; stir constantly until the marshmallows have melted completely. Stir in the crème de menthe and crème de cacao and chill the mixture, stirring occasionally until it has thickened slightly.
-
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream until it is stiff. Gently fold in the marshmallow mixture along with 2 or 3 drops of green food color.
-
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Chill until set, at least 3 hours or more.
