Peppermint pie, otherwise known as candy cane pie is a delightful winter treat. Made with a creamy marshmallow filling in an Oreo cookie crust, this easy recipe is perfect for the holiday season.

It’s quick to throw together and even better when it’s a little on the frozen side. If you like mint chocolate chip ice cream, this might just be your new favorite dessert this Christmas.

What to Buy

When you’re looking for a holiday alternative to traditional options, make sure this delicious pie is on your dessert table!

To prepare this simple recipe, make sure you have the following ingredients:

• Oreo Cookies (or other chocolate sandwich cookies)
• Butter
• Salt
• Cream Cheese
• Marshmallow Creme
• Peppermint Extract
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Powdered Sugar (Confectioner’s Sugar)
• Crushed Peppermint candies (Soft peppermints or candy canes are both great)
• Red food coloring (optional)

You will also need access to a food processor, hand mixer, large bowl, pie plate and a rubber spatula.

Preparation Instructions

For this no bake pie, we will start by preparing the chocolate cookie crust. Say that five times fast!

Take your chocolate cookies and add them to a food processor.

Pulse until you have fine crumbs and stir in the salt and melted butter to create a chocolate mixture.

Once you have your Oreo crust, gently press it into a 9 inch pie plate and set aside.

To make the pie filling, add the cream cheese (room temperature will be easier to work with) to a large mixing bowl and beat it using a hand mixer.

Add marshmallow creme and peppermint extract and beat until well combined.

Then, in a separate medium bowl, use the whisk attachment to beat the heavy cream and sugar until very stiff peaks form. It’s ok to use Cool Whip instead if you don’t want to make your own whipped cream.

Combine the whipped cream with the the cream cheese mixture and add food coloring. Be careful not to over mix.

Spoon evenly into the chocolate pie crust and refrigerate overnight.

For the topping, make another batch of whipped cream and sprinkle crushed peppermints or peppermint candy canes, chocolate chip sauce, or more Oreo cookies on top of the pie.

Serve and enjoy!
