This No Bake Christmas Peppermint Pie is a festive, creamy dessert featuring a minty cream cheese filling atop a crunchy Oreo crust, topped with whipped topping and crushed peppermint candies for a refreshing holiday treat.

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 color
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
  • 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, which ensures a light and fluffy texture for the pie filling. Set the whipped cream aside for later use.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, cream together the powdered sugar and softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the red food coloring, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract, mixing well until the color is even. Fold in ½ cup of crushed peppermint candy pieces to add a refreshing crunch.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gently add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped heavy cream. Using a mixer on low speed, blend the two mixtures until smooth and fully incorporated for a creamy filling.
  4. Fill the Oreo Crust: Pour the combined peppermint cream mixture into the Oreo pie crust, spreading it evenly to form the pie base.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Spread a layer of Cool Whip on top of the pie for a light, sweet topping. Sprinkle additional crushed peppermint candies over the Cool Whip for garnish and extra crunch. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until firm before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Adjust peppermint flavoring to taste if desired for a stronger mint flavor.
  • Use crushed candy canes or peppermint candies that are finely crushed to ensure even texture.
  • This pie can be made a day ahead and kept covered in the refrigerator.
  • Ensure the pie is chilled enough to slice cleanly.
