Christmas Peppermint Pie
This no-bake Christmas Peppermint Pie features a creamy mint-infused filling set in a crunchy Oreo crust and finished with crushed peppermint candies. Ready in 10 minutes of prep plus chill time.
Ingredients
Pie Components
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 16 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1 prepared Oreo crust (9-inch)
- 0.5 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the peppermint extract until fragrant.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using wide spatula strokes to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared Oreo crust and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the surface.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Chilling for at least 6 hours yields a firmer slice and minimizes weeping.
Add the crushed peppermint just before serving to keep the topping crisp.
Keep the pie covered and refrigerated below 40°F to maintain freshness and ensure food safety.
