Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 box Lime Jello (small box, 3 oz)
- 0.5 cups Boiling water
- 0.25 cups Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Creme de Menthe liqueur (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Crème de Cacao liqueur (optional)
- 2 cups Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip, thawed)
- 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, dissolve the Lime Jello in the boiling water, stirring for around 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Stir in the cold water, Creme de Menthe, and Crème de Cacao (if using). Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Add green food coloring if a more vibrant green color is desired.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired.
Slice and enjoy your refreshing Jello Grasshopper Pie!
