What on Earth is Grasshopper Pie? 

I’m honestly not sure how Grasshopper Pie got its name. You’ve got to wonder, right?
I happen to think grasshoppers are pretty disgusting, but thankfully no grasshoppers made it anywhere this Grasshopper Pie 





Grasshopper pie is traditionally a minty marshmallowy pie made with Creme de Menthe and served frozen. My version, I guess, isn’t all that traditional, but it is minty and slightly marshmallowy (I love the texture the marshmallow gives!), and though you can definitely serve it frozen, I prefer it well chilled.
