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.

"As easy as pie!"
