Ingredients

For the Oreo cookie crust

24 Oreo cookies
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the mint mousse filling

16 ounces cream cheese (2 bricks)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
1 drop leaf green gel paste color (optional)
4 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (optional)

For the topping

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

To make the Oreo cookie crust

Place the cookies in the bowl of a food processor and process until fine.
Drizzle in the melted butter and toss together until combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a standard sized pie dish.

To make the mint mousse filling

Whip the cream cheese and powdered sugar together on medium speed until smooth.
While continuing to whip, add the heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, stopping frequently to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula.
When all the cream has been added, turn the mixer up to high speed and whip until the mousse can hold stiff peaks (about 30 seconds).
Fold in the peppermint extract, green food coloring, and chopped Oreos (if using).
Transfer the filling to the prepared pie crust, and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

To top the grasshopper pie

Whip the cream and powdered sugar together until it holds soft peaks.
Layer the whipped cream over the mint mousse filling, and top with chocolate shavings.*

Notes

*To make chocolate shavings, run a veggie peeler down the side of a bar of chocolate.
