WHY IS IT CALLED GRASSHOPPER PIE?

Grasshopper pie gets its name from its green color. Traditionally, grasshopper pie (and other grasshopper drinks and desserts) contains creme de menthe liqueur, which is green. Since this pie is made without creme de menthe, we add the color with green food coloring. If you leave it out, your pie will be white and still taste delicious.

HOW LONG DOES THIS GRASSHOPPER PIE TAKE TO SET?

Your grasshopper pie will be totally set after about 4 hours in the refrigerator. While it is meant to be a soft filling, it will firm up as it chills. If the pie is too soft for you or you just prefer frozen treats, you can let it set up in the freezer, which will take about 8 hours.
