Grasshopper Cheesecake

Pin It

What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with something green? Here's something sweet to wash down with all that green beer you'll be drinking tomorrow.
 
Grasshopper cake is made with crème de menthe, which is just a mint flavored liquor. This cheesecake version is a little different than the traditional cake version, but anything that includes cheesecake is a winner in my book. The cake is really light and creamy with a subtle minty flavor. There's not even a crust that you have to make beforehand, so that makes this quick and even healthier in my opinion. Enjoy and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
