Ingredients

• 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp pure peppermint extract
• 2 drops red food coloring
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• 0.5 cup peppermint candies, crushed
• 0 chocolate sauce (for garnish, optional)
• 0 additional whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble damp sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the peppermint extract and red food coloring to the cream cheese mixture. Beat again until the color is evenly distributed and desired pink hue is achieved.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peppermint cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy filling.

Step 7

Carefully spread the peppermint filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly over the top of the pie.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.

Step 10

Before serving, optionally drizzle chocolate sauce over each slice and top with additional whipped cream if desired.
