Healthy Grasshopper Pie
Grasshopper Pie is a minty pie that’s usually on top of a chocolate cookie crust with a topping of whipped cream.
Ingredients
Chocolate Cracker Crust:
- 2 cups Chocolate Cracker Crumbs (I used my Chocolate Crackers, recipe also in the cookbook!)
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 3 Large Egg Whites or 5 tbs Coconut Oil (melted)
Filling:
- ½ cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 tbs Unflavored Gelatin
- 3 cups Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 1½ cups Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- ¼ packed cup Baby Spinach
- 2 tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- 1-1½ tsp Mint Flavor (depends on how minty you want it – I used 1½ teaspoons)
Instructions
For The Chocolate Cracker Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9” springform pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the chocolate cracker crumbs and salt. Stir in the egg whites. Mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, more like a chocolate “dough” rather than the typical crumbly cracker crust.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and flatten it out. Press the dough up the sides of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
For the Filling:
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the almond milk and gelatin. Microwave at 15-second intervals, stirring between each one, until the mixture is warm and the gelatin has dissolved. Set aside.
- In a high-speed blender, add the cottage cheese, yogurt, spinach, stevia extract and mint flavor. Purée until completely smooth. Add the set aside almond milk/gelatin mixture into the blender. Purée until smooth. Mixture should be thick and creamy. Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Slice and serve, or store in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for up to 5 days.
Recipe Notes
- Feel free to use an 8″ pan instead of 9″ if you like taller pies!

I originally wasn't going to share the recipe here because I worked so incredibly hard on publishing Naughty or Nice. But I wanted to provide it here because that way, you can determine whether or not the cookbook is for you!
