Instructions

1. Place your chocolate cookie crust into the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

3. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract to the cream cheese and continue mixing until well combined.

4. If using, add 1–2 drops of red food coloring and mix for a pink tint.

5. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

6. Spread the peppermint filling evenly into the chilled crust.

7. Smooth the top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

8. Just before serving, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.

9. Serve chilled and enjoy with optional extra whipped topping or a mini candy cane garnish.

Notes

This pie is best served cold and fully set.

Wait until just before serving to add crushed candy canes to avoid stickiness.

You can freeze the pie without the candy topping and add it later for a perfect texture.
