After completing a year of cookies and a year of cakes, it’s time to tackle the pie community. Pie is known as the most American dessert, thus the saying “as American as apple pie”. Once a week, I will hang out in my kitchen with recipe in hand and utensils nearby, to fill my pie plate with hopefully something delicious. Travel with me throughout this year on this pie adventure. Rolling pin, get ready to roll! It will be “as easy as pie!”

Pie Recipe #11 - Minty Grasshopper Pie
After collecting one handful of grasshoppers...(not really!); if you enjoy the chocolate and mint combination, this pie will become one of your favorites. Simply mix the ingredients together, pour into the pre-made shell and for the hardest part-wait 3 hours for it to chill.
Ingredients: 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, 1 (14 ounce)can condensed milk, green food coloring, 1 package fudge mint cookies, 1 (8 ounce) cool whip (or whipped cream), 1 (6 ounce) pre-made chocolate pie crust (I used an Oreo pie crust).
Place 16 cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a hammer or rolling pin until coarsely crushed; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy; gradually beat in condensed milk until smooth.
Stir in a few drops of food coloring and the crushed cookies, mixing well. Fold in the cool whip (or whipped cream). Pour into crust, spreading evenly. Chill for at least 3 hours. Garnish with more cookies, if desired. Refrigerate any leftovers.
