Grasshopper pie is inspired by the 1920s grasshopper cocktail, which contained crème de cacao, crème de menthe, and cream. Traditional grasshopper pie recipes take those alcoholic ingredients and fold them into a fluffy marshmallow filling in a chocolate cookie crust. It’s a classic no-bake dessert that’s especially popular at Easter!
For my version, I wanted an alcohol-free dessert that the whole family could enjoy. That being said, I include tips on how to add the booze back in if you’d like to make a pie that’s closer to the original. More on this later.
