Description

This Easy No-Bake Christmas Peppermint Pie is a cool, creamy holiday dessert with a chocolate cookie crust, a fluffy peppermint filling, and a festive candy cane topping. It is simple to make ahead, easy to slice, and perfect for Christmas parties, family dinners, or any winter gathering.

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 drop pink or red food coloring, optional

1 1/2 cups whipped topping, plus more for garnish

1 prepared 9-inch chocolate cookie pie crust

1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

1. Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, then mix until fully combined.

3. Blend in the food coloring if using, just until the filling reaches a light festive shade.

4. Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.

5. Stir in the crushed peppermint candies and mini chocolate chips if using.

6. Spoon the filling into the prepared chocolate cookie crust and smooth the top evenly.

7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is firm enough to slice cleanly.

8. Garnish with extra whipped topping and more crushed peppermint candies before serving.

Notes

Use fully softened cream cheese so the filling turns out smooth without lumps.

Fold the whipped topping in gently to keep the texture light and fluffy.

Chill the pie long enough before slicing so it holds its shape and looks neat when served.
