GRASSHOPPER PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie plate. Whisk together coconut, cookie crumbs, and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter, and stir until well combined. Press crumb mixture into pie plate. Bake until just set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 cups cream and the mint just to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover. Let steep 15 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a glass measuring cup. Discard the mint, and set cream aside. Beat the remaining cup cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form; cover, and refrigerate.
• Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put creme de menthe in a medium heatproof bowl, and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl; set aside. Add steeped cream to gelatin mixture, whisking until well combined.
• Set bowl with cream mixture over a pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved and mixture is hot to the touch, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, pour hot cream mixture in a slow, steady stream into egg-yolk mixture. Return mixture to heatproof bowl; set over pan of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and registers 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer bowl to ice-water bath; whisk until mixture thickens to the consistency of pudding, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from bath. Add one-third of reserved whipped cream; whisk until combined. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
• Spoon mixture into pie crust; refrigerate until set, 45 minutes to 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Just before serving, scrape a chef's knife along surface of chocolate bar to make shavings. Spoon dollops of whipped cream onto pie, if desired, and top with chocolate shavings.

GRASSHOPPER PIE

Steps:

• Throw the cookies and melted butter into a food processor and pulverize. (Or, if you have some aggression or energy to expend, you can crush them in a large resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin!) Set a small handful of crumbs aside to sprinkle over the finished pie. Pour the rest into a pie pan and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Set aside.
• Heat the marshmallow and half-and-half in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it's all melted and combined, place the saucepan in a bowl of ice to cool down quickly. (Stirring occasionally will hasten this process.) Once cool, add the creme de menthe and creme de cacao. Taste and add more creme de menthe if needed. Add the green food coloring if using.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream until stiff. Pour the cold marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream and fold together gently. Pour the filling into the chocolate crust. Sprinkle over the reserved cookie crumbs.
• Freeze until very firm, about 2 hours. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes or so before you want to slice and serve.

NON-ALCOHOLIC GRASSHOPPER PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP and chopped cookies. Spoon into crust.

• Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.

GRASSHOPPER PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, crush chocolate wafers and mix with melted butter.
• Press into a 9 or 10 inch pie plate.

• Then melt the marshmallows and milk in a saucepan, over a low heat.
• Once melted, add creme de menthe and creme de cacao.
• Prepare one envelope of Dream Whip, fold into marshmallow mixture, put into crust and chill.
• To decorate, break a chocolate wafer in half and rub the two edges together over the pie to make a nice sprinkling of chocolate crumbs.
• This is a fun dessert around Saint Paddy's day, but if you want to make it for Christmas, substitute crushed candy canes, melted into the milk, for the creme de menthe.

Remove from heat; stir in mint and chocolate liqueurs.
• In bowl or roasting pan large enough to hold bowl of gelatin mixture, combine enough water and ice cubes to come halfway up side. Nestle bowl of gelatin mixture into ice cube mixture. Stir gelatin mixture often until cold and consistency of raw egg whites, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• PIE CRUST:.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer, cream butter. Add sugar egg and food color. Mix until light and fluffy then add dry ingredients. Mix until dough forms.
• Press dough out onto a 16x12 cookie sheet lined in baking paper. Roll out to a uniform thickness (about 1/8 of an inch) and bake 10 minutes until JUST starting to brown.
• Note: You want your crust to be as light as possible so trim and discard and browned sections when out of the oven and cooled.
• Once cooled, crumble into large pieces and place in a food processor and pulp until in fine crumbs then place crumbs in a mixing bowl. If you don't have a food processor? Throw them in a sturdy Ziploc bag and whack with a rolling pin ;).
• Repeat process with two cups white chocolate chips and add to that same mixing bowl. Add melted shortening and mix until a pliable dough forms. Press into an 8" pie dish and create crimped edge with your fingertips.
• FILLING:.
• Place 1/8 cup water in glass bowl and add gelatin then allow to bloom. In a large pot gently melt down marshmallows on low/medium heat stirring constantly. Once in cream state, add half and half, Crème de Menthe, whipping cream and bloomed gelatin. Heat until just about ready to simmer. Remove from heat and allow to cool about 15 minutes. Place in a stand mixer and mix for 5 minutes. Pour half mixture into your prepared pie dish and the remaining mixture into a domed mixing bowl lined with plastic wrap. Place both the pie and the bowl into a freezer overnight.
• In the morning, carefully remove the filling from the bowl handling only the plastic wrap and flip onto your frozen pie for a domed effect. (It's jiggly and this is tricky, so know that going in!) Place back into freezer until ready to decorate.
• Stabilized Whipped Cream:.
• In a saucepan add water and gelatin. Allow to bloom 5 minutes. Begin heating on medium and stir constantly until it just begins to steam and remove from heat. Wait until mixture is back at room temp before next step.

• Grasshopper Decoration:.
• Heat 3/4 cup white chocolate on low on stovetop until completely melted and in a liquid state. Add corn syrup and mix nonstop until dough forms: This is your modeling chocolate.
• Decorative Direction:.
• Use modeling chocolate to shape legs and feelers for your grasshopper and adhere pieces together with the remaining white chocolate melted down. Any remaining melted chocolate can be placed in a small parchment piping bag and used to do the fine decoration and smoothing of the grasshopper. Place finished chocolate insect on top of your decorated pie. Serve immediately or freeze until ready for company.
