No Bake Grasshopper Pudding Pie

No Bake Grasshopper Pudding PieTwo in the Kitchen vii With St. Patrick’s Day just a few days away, I had to squeeze in one more minty, green dessert.  Though honestly I may, or may not have one more.  😉  Now I wouldn’t even say that this pie is meant exclusively for St. Patrick’s Day anyway.  With its cool creamy pudding goodness it would also be perfect for a warm summer day.  And because today is “pi” day (3.14), you really can’t go wrong whipping up this quick and easy, minty pie!!  😉

No Bake Grasshopper Pudding PieTwo in the Kitchen cii Since this is “no bake” this Grasshopper Pudding Pie can be whipped up in no time.  I love the combination of the minty cream cheese layer paired with the chocolatey pudding.  And the crust is an Oreo cookie crust which gives all the silky pudding a great layer of textured crunch.

No Bake Grasshopper Pudding PieTwo in the Kitchen c I have to be honest with you though, this pie is best eaten after a meal when you already have your stomach half full.  Because this No Bake Grasshopper Pudding Pie is so light and fluffy, you will feel like you can eat several pieces at once!  Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you!!  😉

No Bake Grasshopper Pudding Pie

Ingredients

  • 2 Oreo cookie pie crusts (located in the baking aisle)
  • 2 8 oz. packages of cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 TBLS milk
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1/2 t. peppermint extract
  • 1 1/2 c. cool whip
  • several drops of green food dye
  • 1 c. Andes mint baking chips
  • 1 3.4 oz package of instant chocolate pudding
  • 2 c. cold milk

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth
  2. Add the milk, powdered sugar, and extract and mix until incorporated
  3. Fold in the cool whip by hand and stir in several drops of dye until desired color is reached.
  4. Before adding the mint chips, Remove a cup of the mixture and cover and refrigerate to use later for garnish.
  5. Stir in the mint chips to the remaining mixture and cover the bottom of the pie shell with the mixture and spread an even layer that takes up half the level of the pie shell.
  6. Prepare pudding according to package directions and spread a layer on top of the cream cheese mixture until the top of the pie shell is reached. Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  7. Prepare the reserved cream cheese mixture in a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe five large rosettes on the top of the pie and decorate as desired.
  8. Store any remaining pie covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

A note about the yield: This recipe yields two pies. If only one pie is desired, cut the first 8 ingredients in half. Since there is no way to cut the pudding in half, you will just end up with a lot of extra pudding to use as you please.

  5. Pi Day?! I always miss these important holidays. 😉 I’m in love with this pie. I love mint so I would definitely eat this 365 days a year. I love that it’s no-bake so it’s a great option when I don’t want to turn on my oven in the hot summer. Yum yum. 🙂
