Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1.5 teaspoons peppermint extract
• 4 drops red food coloring
• 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candies
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons additional crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to press it down firmly. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to set.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Step 7

Stir in the peppermint extract and red food coloring, adjusting the color as desired for a light pink hue.

Step 8

Fold in the crushed peppermint candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set firmly.

Step 11

Just before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and additional crushed peppermint candies for garnish, if desired.
