Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup green crème de menthe
- 1/2 cup white crème de cacao
- 2 tablespoons gelatin

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter and powdered sugar until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Bloom the gelatin: In a separate bowl, bloom the gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes. Then, heat the mixture until the gelatin dissolves completely.
- Whip the heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted gelatin, green crème de menthe, and white crème de cacao until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust and refrigerate for several hours or until set.
- Once set, slice and serve chilled. Indulge in the refreshing flavors and delightful texture of your homemade Grasshopper Pie!
