This Fudgy Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie is a refreshing treat in summertime. It was Charlie’s 9th birthday last week and I always let the kids pick their favorite birthday cake or dessert. Charlie chose this Fudgy Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie. I was thrilled, because I’ve been hankering to make an ice-cream pie. The temperature fluctuations are still pretty big around here. Last week it was sweltering, nearly 90 degrees on Charlie’s birthday, perfect for this delicious and easy to make ice-cream pie.

Charlie had some particular requests. He wanted two different ice cream layers, cookies and cream on the bottom and mint chocolate chip on the top. So we did that, easy enough, though my recipe below calls for mint chocolate chip ice cream only. Do what you like!

This Fudgy Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie is all about layers. Chocolate graham cracker crust, ice-cream, Thin Mint cookies and fudge. So if you’re into layered ice-cream pies, this is the one for you!

Press chocolate graham cracker crumb mixture into pie plate and freeze.

Layer crust with ice cream, hot fudge sauce and Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. Yum!!!

Now add that second layer of ice-cream…you’re almost done. Top with remaining hot fudge sauce. We could stop here, but….

I absolutely can’t resist mounds of whipped cream sprinkled with crumbled cookies for a dramatic show stopper! This is a gorgeous and easy ice cream pie!
