Traditionally made in the thick of the woodlands with fire-roasted grasshoppers
...nah. Just kidding.

Grasshopper Pie is traditionally made in Southern kitchens, and is a sweet frozen pie inspired by the Grasshopper cocktail. Starring crème de menthe and crème de cacao, this pie is cool, refreshing, and green. Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!

Step 1Gather ingredients for the crust

Gather ingredients for the crust
If you don't want to make your own crust, that's totally fine. The pre-made chocolate crusts (Oreo?) they sell at grocery stores should be alright. Not quite as yummy, but alright.

Making your own chocolate crust is pretty simple. You will need:
  • 8 Tbs melted unsalted butter
  • 3/4 shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1.5 - 2 cups of crushed chocolate wafer cookies (depending on how chocolaty you want it)
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • optional: chocolate syrup
A quick and thorough way to crush the cookies is to place a handful in a ziplock bag. Seal it, and then roll over them with a rolling pin. They should break up pretty easily.

I was looking at your projects and thinking to myself, "Wow, these projects look really good. We should hire people who make stuff this good" and then I saw the comments on your other project and realized that I already work with you. So... Problem solved. Keep up the good work (also, please to bring in leftovers) :-)
