Classic Grasshopper Pie (Minty Cream Pie with Oreo Crust)

3. Topping

1. Before preparing the topping, place a metal or glass mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 15 minutes. Chilled equipment helps the cream whip faster and more consistently.
2. Remove the cold bowl from the freezer. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer for 4–5 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. The whipped cream should be scoopable and hold its shape without collapsing.
3. Spoon the whipped cream generously over the chilled pie, spreading evenly or creating soft swirls. For a decorative finish, top with chocolate shavings.
4. To make chocolate curls easily, warm a Hershey’s bar in the microwave for about 5 seconds. Use a vegetable peeler along the side of the bar to create curls. If the chocolate breaks instead of curling, heat the bar for a few more seconds until the texture softens enough to peel smoothly.

Tips & Variations

• Taste and adjust the mint extract for a stronger or milder mint flavor.
• Match chilling time to your refrigerator—colder fridges firm the filling faster.
• Allow the pie to rest briefly at room temperature before slicing for smoother cuts.
• Servings: 16  |  Prep: 15 min  |  Total: 15 min (plus chilling)
