This Christmas Peppermint Pie is a festive, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy peppermint-flavored filling in a crunchy Oreo crust. Topped with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies, it’s perfect for holiday gatherings and easy to prepare ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 Oreo pie crust

Filling

  • 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

Topping

  • 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 softened cream cheese until smooth. Add red food coloring, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract; mix until uniformly colored and well combined. Fold in ½ cup crushed peppermint candy pieces.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped heavy cream. Use a mixer on low speed to thoroughly combine without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Fill the Oreo Crust: Pour the combined peppermint filling into the Oreo crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Spread a layer of Cool Whip over the pie and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies. Refrigerate the pie for 1 to 2 hours, or until set, before serving.

Notes

  • Keep the pie refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
  • This pie freezes well for up to 2 months; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Add the peppermint garnish only after thawing.
  • To serve frozen pie, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature for 15-20 minutes for best texture.
