No Bake Grasshopper Pie

 

This No-Bake Grasshopper Cheesecake is so easy to make and fantastically creamy with plenty of minty flavor and an oreo crust. I love Grasshopper desserts for both Christmas and St Patrick’s Day. It’s hard to beat that festive green color and minty flavor.

What I really love about this No-Bake Grasshopper Cheesecake is not only does it have an oreo crust on the bottom, but a layer of oreo crust in the middle too. You get double the amount of chocolate goodness.

This cheesecake is assembled in a 9-inch springform pan to make the layers neat and pretty.

A packet of gelatin helps the filling set up perfectly. If you haven’t used gelatin before, don’t be intimidated. You just dissolve it in water and let it do its thing.

Green Creme de Menthe not only gives this No-Bake Cheesecake its minty flavor, it turns it a delightful green color.
