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.
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.
