Grasshopper pie

Grasshopper pie filling is made by folding whipped cream into marshmallow or cream cheese. The cream cheese version is made by adding green food coloring to a mixture of condensed milk with cream cheese, then gently folding in chocolate-covered mint cookie crumbs and whipped topping.^[3] Alternately, melted marshmallows can be gently folded into fresh whipped cream.^[4] The filling is infused with creme de menthe and creme de cacao, which give the mousse its characteristic green coloring.^[5]

The crust is a chocolate cookie crumb crust, variations of which can be made with crumbled sandwich cookies, or by melting chocolate in a double boiler and stirring in crisped rice cereal, then pressing the mixture into a pie dish and allowing it to set in the refrigerator.^[6]
