This Grasshopper Pie has a yummy Oreo crust, a creamy, mint-flavored filling, and is topped with Oreo crumbs. It’s such a tasty dessert!
I’m a die hard Grasshopper Pie fan. I love anything Grasshopper-flavored actually. I don’t know how many times I’ve had to make an immediate run to Dairy Queen to get my mint and Oreo fix. Their shakes are to die for! The only thing I don’t understand, is how this combination of goodness, got the nickname of ‘grasshopper’. Where did that come from? Does anybody know?? Because I’d really like to.
The first time I remember having this stuff, was when I was ten years old and my parents were out of town and they got us a couple babysitters – some of my dad’s college students. We adored them. They made this for us and then took us outside to dance in the snow while we waited for it to set up. It’s kind of a random memory, but I can honestly attribute that event right there to my love of mint/Oreo. It tastes like heaven in my mouth!

Recipe Notes
*I found that if you microwave the marshmallow creme for about 30 seconds before adding it to the whipped cream, it helps to avoid lumps.
Oh my yum! Fantastic recipe. Your pie looks gorgeous. Pinning 🙂
This looks freaking amazing. Pinned! Also… I’m in love with mint as well. And mint oreos? Fab-tab-ulous!

Sounds devine! The Dairy Queen mint Oreo blizzard is a favorite of mine too 🙂
This sounds wonderful… I just bought some Dairy Queen blizzard oreos that would be perfect in this and still have some homemade marshmallow creme… Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday and remember to come back and vote on Sunday.
