Grasshopper Pudding Pie is a classic American dessert that first gained popularity in the 1950s. It's a cold, creamy dessert with a minty flavor, often made with white chocolate pudding mix and whipped topping. This pie is simple to make but always crowd-pleasing. The Oreo cookie crust is a perfect base for the minty filling, and it's topped with extra cookie crumbles and chocolate curls for a decadent finish. This pie is perfect for summer barbecues, dinner parties, or any time you're in the mood for a cool, refreshing treat.
