- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups crushed candy canes
- 1 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly mixed.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream into stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in the crushed candy canes and mini marshmallows, ensuring even distribution.
Spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out in an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings on top for an added touch.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Slice and serve chilled for a festive holiday treat!
