Print Recipe

Christmas is a time for indulging in rich, festive desserts, and the Christmas Peppermint Pie is a true showstopper. This creamy, minty treat is the perfect way to end any holiday gathering, filling your home with the inviting aroma of peppermint and bringing a touch of holiday cheer to every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 teaspoon food coloring
  • 1 pre-made Oreo cookie crust
  • 1/2 cup peppermint candy bits

Instructions

1. Start by placing the Oreo cookie crust in your pie dish and setting it aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, mixing until fully combined.

3. Next, whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until the filling is smooth and fluffy. If desired, add a touch of food coloring and swirl it through the filling for a festive, marbled effect.

4. Pour the creamy filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Finish by sprinkling the crushed peppermint candy bits over the top of the pie.

5. Refrigerate the Christmas Peppermint Pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling is firm and chilled, before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for the best, creamiest consistency in the filling.

Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks to create a light, airy texture.

Start with a small amount of peppermint extract and add more to taste, as the flavor can be overpowering if used excessively.

Crush the peppermint candy bits coarsely for a more satisfying crunch on top.

Chill the pie thoroughly before serving to ensure the filling has set properly.
