Grasshopper Pie Recipe Clipping

Here’s an old recipe clipping from a newspaper, or maybe a magazine. No date but judging from the image on the back I’d guess 1970s. Copy typo in copy was corrected when transferring this recipe online (Stire changed to Stir).

GRASSHOPPER PIE

9-inch chocolate cookie crust
30 large or three cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup milk
2-3 Tbs. creme de cocoa
2-3 Tbs. green creme de menthe
1 cup whipping cream whipped, or two cups (4 1/2 oz. pkg.) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Chocolate cookie crust: In nine-inch pie plate, melt three Tbs. butter. Stir in crumbs of 1 1/2 cups chocolate creme-filled cookies (15-20 cookies); press into bottom and up sides of dish. Cook two minutes.

In large mixing bowl, combine marshmallows and milk. Cook, uncovered, two minutes or until marshmallows begin to puff. Stir to blend together. (If marshmallows are not completely melted, cook a few seconds more.) Stir in creme de cocoa and menthe.

Cook until mixture is thickened, but not set, about 30 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into crust. Refrigerate four hours or until ready to serve. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls.
