Why You’ll Love This Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie

It’s no-bake, which means less oven juggling during the holidays. The texture is perfectly creamy with a whipped topping that makes every bite feel like a snowflake melting in your mouth. You’ll also love how quickly it comes together, making it a go-to last-minute dessert. And that flavor combo of chocolate and peppermint? Pure holiday nostalgia.

What Kind of Crust Works Best for Peppermint Pie?

A classic chocolate cookie crust is ideal here. It gives just enough bittersweet contrast to the sweet, creamy filling. You can use store-bought to save time or crush your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies at home. If you’re feeling adventurous, a chocolate graham crust adds a slightly different but equally tasty twist.

Ingredients for the Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie

A few key ingredients come together to build that festive flavor profile we all crave this time of year. You don’t need anything fancy, just classic pantry staples with a peppermint kick.

• Chocolate cookie crust
• Cream cheese
• Powdered sugar
• Peppermint extract
• Whipped topping
• Crushed candy canes
• Red food coloring (optional)

The crust lays the foundation, creamy filling brings that luscious texture, and peppermint extract creates the signature holiday flavor. Crushed candy canes on top not only add crunch but also bring festive sparkle.

How To Make the Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie

Step 1: Prep the Crust

Start with a pre-made chocolate cookie crust or press your own into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill it in the fridge while you prep the filling.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Peppermint Filling

In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract, mixing until creamy. If you’d like a pink tint, add a drop or two of red food coloring.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. The texture should be light and airy.

Step 4: Assemble and Chill

Spread the filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth out the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 5: Garnish with Candy Cane Magic

Just before serving, sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top. Slice and serve with extra whipped topping if you’re feeling festive.

How to Serve and Store This Peppermint Pie

Holiday Bliss Christmas Peppermint Pie is best served chilled straight from the fridge. It slices cleanly when fully set, making it easy to serve at gatherings. If you want to be extra festive, add a dollop of whipped cream and a mini candy cane to each slice.

Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to make it ahead for a party, it freezes well too—just skip the crushed candy cane topping until serving so it doesn’t get sticky.

This pie comfortably serves 8 generous slices or 10 smaller ones, perfect for a family gathering or cozy holiday dinner.

Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows

If you’re feeling extra indulgent, a scoop of vanilla ice cream beside a slice turns it into a dreamy dessert duo.

Eggnog

The spiced richness of eggnog pairs surprisingly well with the peppermint flavor.
