Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand.

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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it's fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 7
Spread the peppermint filling evenly into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Step 9
Before serving, top the pie with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies for garnish.
