Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces white chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy cream, divided
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 4 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup white chocolate curls or shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, crush the cookies in a resealable bag using a rolling pin.
Transfer the crushed cookies to a bowl and mix with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Refrigerate the crust for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually beat in the melted white chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream to a separate mixing bowl and whip to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring, if using.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish the pie with white chocolate curls or shavings, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
