How to Make Grasshopper Pie

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk and 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until smooth.
  2. Let the pudding mixture stand for 2 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
  3. Gently fold in ¾ cup of whipped topping.
  4. Gently fold in ¾ cup of finely chopped chocolate-mint candies (like Andes mints).
  5. Spoon the pudding mixture into your prepared chocolate cookie crust (recipe not included).
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract with the remaining 1 ¼ cups of whipped topping. Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired, to achieve a vibrant green hue.
  7. Spread the minty whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate-mint candies over the top.
  9. Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
