Made this for a Relief Society party. I think it turned out well. In the picture you can see mint Oreo's instead of grasshopper cookies. I'm changing it because the Oreo's didn't stay firm the next day and I think the cookie will.
The white mousse turned out fine, it was tasty, but I'm not sure it was much of a contrast from the cream. I'm seriously thinking of trying a chocolate mousse for the next round.
I think people enjoyed it and it was a fun holiday dessert, dramatic and tasty.
