This Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie is a creamy ice cream pie that is packed with the best mint chocolate flavor in a crunchy chocolate cookie crust. It’s great for St. Patrick’s Day, summer parties, Christmas, or any time you want a dessert that is refreshing and so easy!

This pie is no bake, and comes together with just a few simple ingredients. I promise its going to be one your your new go to desserts. It’s got a simple two ingredient Oreo cookie crust, that is loaded with Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and is topped with hot fudge sauce, and whipped cream too.

This recipe is so simple, but still delivers big on flavor. This crust is rich and chocolatey, the filling is smooth, creamy, and minty. It slices beautifully straight from the freezer and looks impressive without a lot of effort!

This pie has the same flavors of the old classic Grasshopper pie, but in ice cream form! It also reminds me of the Asphalt Pie at Winger’s if you’ve ever been there!

Why You’ll Love this Pie

  • No Bake: The pie is “made” with a few minutes of assembly and a few hours in the freezer.
  • Great to Make Ahead: The pie stays good in the freezer for days, so its great for making when you have a spare minute to help you remove any party day stress.
  • Perfect Mint Chocolate Flavor: Cool Mint ice cream, with chocolate chips pairs so nice with the rich chocolate crust!

Ingredients Needed

This is a quick overview of some of the ingredients you’ll need for this Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Pie Recipe. Specific measurements and full recipe instructions are in the printable recipe card below.

  • Oreo Cookies – you’ll use the whole cookie, filling and all
  • Butter – You’ll melt the butter, you can use salted or unsalted butter.
  • Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
  • Whipped Cream – You can use Cool Whip or make your own Whipped Cream
  • Toppings: You can add hot fudge, caramel sauce, chocolate syrup, more chopped Oreos, or Andes Mints

How to make Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie

Step 1: Make the Pie Crust. Blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender until they are totally crumbly. Mix them in a bowl with melted butter until evenly combined then press the mixture across the bottoms and up the sides of a greased 9inch pie dish. Place in the freezer to harden.

Step 2: Add the Ice Cream. Let the ice cream soften slightly, scoop the mint ice cream into the crust and press it evenly into the crust across the top. Freeze again.

Step 3: Add the Toppings. Drizzle warm hot fudge over the pie, and sprinkle with Oreo pieces, and top the edges of the pie with whipped cream. You can add mini chocolate chips, caramel, or whatever toppings you’d like.

Tips and Tricks:

  • Press the Crust Firmly: Press the crust into the bottom of the pie plate with the bottom of a greased measuring cup, or glass cup to make sure it is in a tight even layer so it stays together when the pie is sliced.
  • Pie Plate or Springform Pan: Instead of a 9inch pie dish you can use a 9 or 10 inch springform pan to make the pie instead. I really like how easy it is to remove the slices if you use a spring form pan.
  • Don’t Skip the Freezing Time: This pie only takes about 10 minutes of your time to make, but it does require at least 4.5 hours in the freezer.
  • Clean Slices: Run the knife under hot water and wipe dry with a piece of paper towel before cutting. Re-clean the knife every time it gets too dirty.

Storage Instructions

The pie can be stored in the freezer for up to one week. Cover it in foil or plastic wrap to prevent it from getting freezer burn. Let the pie thaw at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes, depending how long its been frozen so it is easier to slice.
