I made this Peppermint Pie for Christmas this year and it was delicious! The original recipe is from Crazy for Crust (Find it here: https://www.crazyforcrust.com/peppermint-pie/)
Ingredients:
- 1 9-inch Oreo Crust , store bought or homemade
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 12 ounces (339g) whipped topping, divided
- 5 drops Red Food Coloring
- Crushed Candy Canes for garnish
Instructions:
- If using a homemade crust, chill until ready to fill.
- Add cream cheese and sugar to a large bowl and beat with a hand or a stand mixer until smooth. Mix in peppermint extract.
- Add 8 ounces whipped topping and mix on low speed until fluffy. Add food coloring and mix slowly until entire mixture is a light pink.
- Pour cream cheese mixture into pie crust. Spread to fill and then cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Before serving, decorate the top of the pie with the remaining 4 ounces whipped topping and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- Store loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
