Crème de menthe and crème de cacao give this Grasshopper Pie a lovely mint chocolate flavor. The light, airy pie filling is assembled in a chocolate crust and there's absolutely no baking required. An easy dessert for St. Patrick's Day!

Instructions
- Mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the consistency resembles damp sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Combine the marshmallows and half-and-half in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the creme de menthe and creme de cacao liqueurs. If you want a brighter color, add a drop or two of green food coloring and mix until evenly combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly on the counter while you whip the cream. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Once the marshmallow mixture has cooled to room temperature, gently fold in the whipped cream. Make sure to mix just until combined to keep the filling light and airy.
- Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
- When the pie is set, top it with whipped cream if using. Pipe or dollop the whipped cream however you like.
- Finish by sprinkling chopped Andes Mints over the top of the pie. Slice and serve cold. Enjoy!
Notes
- Non Alcoholic Version - Swap the Creme de Menthe and Creme de Cacao with mint and chocolate syrups for a non-alcoholic version.
- Crust - Try a graham cracker crust or a chocolate pie crust for a different flavor.
- Coloring - The green food coloring is optional. If you skip it, the pie will still have a pale, minty hue from the liqueur.
- Flavor Boost - For extra minty flavor, add a splash of creme de menthe to the whipped cream topping before piping it onto the pie.
