Begin by combining the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl, and stir well until there are no dry spots.
What are you waiting for? This a pie that belongs on your summer menu, one way or another! Yes, you heard me right- Frozen grasshopper pie on a stick, dipped in chocolate!
Freezing it makes for a truly refreshing treat, and gives it the added bonus of being stable enough to make popsicles out of. My take on grasshopper pie has some significant differences from the original, however- Most notably, mine gets its bulk and lovely green hue thanks to some creamy avocados, not artificial whipped topping or nasty green dye. Now that vegan marshmallows are more abundant, I can even justify using a whole bag in one recipe! Traditionally composed of marshmallows and cool whip, it’s one recipe that was all but off limits until recently, but all that has changed thanks to the brilliant Dandies Marshmallows. Fortified with a splash of creme de mènthe and chilled, it’s a nostalgic adult treat that absolutely screams summer. It was allegedly said that “dinner guests sometimes click their heels with glee over a superb dessert,” but if that were the case, why aren’t there more grasshopper desserts? Wouldn’t we all be clicking our heels over every molten chocolate cake that crosses our lips?Īnyway, enough silliness, because this is one serious pie. I might speculate that it’s “green as a grasshopper,” but then why didn’t they call it frog pie, or Calyptomena viridis pie? Not as catchy? No, I can’t imagine that’s the reason… What’s sweet, minty, and green all over? Don’t worry, it’s not the set up for a bad joke, but a grasshopper pie! With roots going back only to the 60’s, it’s a relative new comer on the pie scene, and yet no one is quite sure where the name came from.
