Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 drops Green or red food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the peppermint extract and mix well to combine. If desired, stir in the food coloring to give the filling a festive hue.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it's fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the peppermint filling evenly into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Before serving, top the pie with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cool Peppermint Pie!
