Description
Indulge in the festive delight of Easy Peppermint Pie with a rich chocolate Oreo crust. This easy-to-make dessert combines creamy peppermint filling with a crunchy crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 2–3 drops green food coloring (optional)
- Chocolate syrup (for garnish)
- Crushed peppermint candies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form your crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let it cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Add peppermint extract and food coloring, if using. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- Once the crust has cooled, pour the minty filling into the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Before serving, top with chocolate syrup and crushed peppermint candies.
Notes
For a lighter twist, you can substitute Greek yogurt for the cream cheese. Feel free to use gluten-free Oreos if needed.
