Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
- 2 drops Red food coloring (optional)
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream (whipped)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cups Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to set while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
If desired, add red food coloring to the filling mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.
Remove the pie crust from the freezer and pour the peppermint filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely firm.
Before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
Slice and serve the pie frozen for a delightful peppermint treat!
