Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Chocolate cookie crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Peppermint extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
• 2 drops Red food coloring (optional)
• 1 cup Whipped cream (for topping)
• 0.5 cup Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. If desired, add 2 drops of red food coloring and swirl gently for a light pink color.

Step 6

Spread the peppermint filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 8

Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.

Step 9

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your festive peppermint pie!
