No Bake Grasshopper Pie #LMDConnector

This no bake Grasshopper Pie isn’t so much a pie, but it’s definitely a very tasty dish. We were headed to a Holiday Monday BBQ and I left myself too little time to make dessert, so I headed straight to my No Bake Treats board on Pinterest. 

Follow Jennifer VanOosten’s board No Bake Treats on Pinterest.
I used the recipe from A Pretty Life as a starting point and made my own changes from there. The biggest tip that she had was to use Creme de Menthe as the flavouring – brilliant idea! I can never get quite the right mint taste with mint extract. Plus, we have Creme de Menthe syrup, so it gave us the green colour & everything, all in one shot.  

I served this dish within 5 hours of making it, but after tasting it the day after, I can say that it definitely ages well. So, absolutely, make & serve the same day if you need a quick dessert, but if you think about it early enough, put it together the day before. It’s to die for. 

This would be a perfect dessert to serve in tiny mason jars for easy serving, but unfortunately I didn’t have any of those, so I served in a glass pan. The pudding doesn’t get very firm, so it can be a touch messy to serve, but the folks I served certainly didn’t complain – it was a big hit!
