Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Christmas cookies (crumbled)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1.5 quarts Peppermint ice cream (softened)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 0.5 cup Crushed peppermint candies
- 0.25 cup Chocolate syrup (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled Christmas cookies and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Make sure it is firmly packed.
Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
While the crust is chilling, remove the peppermint ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly for easy spreading.
Once the crust is set, spread the softened peppermint ice cream evenly into the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the top of the ice cream for decoration.
Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream. Optionally, drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for extra decadence.
To serve, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing. Enjoy!
