Description

This No-Bake Christmas Peppermint Pie is a festive and delicious dessert that’s perfect for the holiday season. It’s creamy, minty, and easy to make, with a crunchy Oreo crust and a refreshing peppermint filling.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Oreo pie crust
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 packages cream cheese (8 ounces each), softened
  • 10 drops red food coloring
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes or mints
  • 1 tub Cool Whip
  • Crushed peppermint candies, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, cream together the powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Add the food coloring, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the cream cheese/powdered sugar mixture. Mix until the color is uniform and well combined. Finally, fold in ½ cup of peppermint candy bits.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently add the cream cheese mixture to the bowl of whipped heavy cream. Using a low speed on your mixer, blend the two mixtures together until they are thoroughly combined.
  4. Fill the Oreo Crust: Pour the combined mixture into the Oreo crust, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Top the pie with a layer of Cool Whip, then sprinkle crushed peppermint over the top. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until you are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Chill: Keep your peppermint pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze: This pie freezes well for up to 2 months! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then add a layer of aluminum foil. Add the crushed peppermint garnish when ready to serve.
  • Serve: When ready to enjoy your frozen pie, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. For the best texture, let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
