This decadent, creamy Keto Grasshopper Mousse Pie is made without sugar, low carb, gluten free and nut free as well!

A Grasshopper is a sweet, mint flavored after dinner drink with its green color coming from creme de menthe. It was created in 1918 in the French Quarter of Louisiana. While this something I have never drank or want to drink, the green color and the mint flavor work perfectly for celebrating St.Patrick’s Day with a family or even Easter with the fun light green color!

St.Patricks Day was never a holiday we’d celebrate when I was growing up, in my Italian household. My mom never made green food and I never ate Corned Beef and Cabbage until I met my husband and married 19 years ago!

BUT my children see and hear about all things green during this time of year so I feel obligated as a momma to provide them some of these traditional favorites during this time of year.

Some of the treats they love:

But this dessert has been their number 1 favorite by far! Mousse has always been their favorite, just like me. So adding some mint and some green color made this a win win for the whole family to celebrate St.Patty’s day!

Drizzle on a little more Chocolate sauce right before serving for extra deliciousness!

Super light texture, but totally satisfying in every bite.

It may be hard to resist one serving so it’s best if you enjoy this for a special occasion, when you can share with others!

Left overs can be dangerous, you’ve been warned!

Brenda’s Notes:

If you don’t have peppermint stevia it’s not the end of the world but it adds an extra punch to that mint flavor. You can use any sweetener you enjoy, I would say just 1/2 cup.

Ingredients

No Bake Chocolate Pie Crust

Instructions

To make the pie crust, combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend just enough to combine. Don’t over blend or you will have the texture of peanut butter.
Taste crust to see if you need more salt or sweetness.
Using your fingers spread and mold crust onto bottom and sides of pie plate. Set aside.
To make filling:
Pour the water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top.
Turn on low heat, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved. Let cool.
Place the avocado, cream cheese, peppermint extract, stevia and salt into a stand mixer and blend on high until smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Pour in heavy cream in another bowl and use an electric mixer to blend on high until soft peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Gradually pour in the cooled gelatin and stir until combined.
Pour filling into pie crust.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours, loosely covered or up to 1 day.
When ready to serve add optional chocolate drizzle if desired.
