Ingredients

Scale

Pie 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 coloring
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint flavoring
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy canes or mints

Topping

  • 1 tub Cool Whip (approximately 8 ounces)
  • Crushed peppermint candies for garnish (about 1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set this aside to use later in the recipe.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the red food coloring, vanilla essence, and peppermint flavoring. Mix until the color is uniform and well combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint candy bits gently.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped heavy cream. Using a mixer on low speed, blend the two mixtures until thoroughly combined and smooth in texture.
  4. Fill the Oreo Crust: Pour the combined creamy mixture into the Oreo pie crust, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
  5. Garnish and Chill: Spread a layer of Cool Whip over the top of the pie mixture. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies generously for both texture and festive appearance. Refrigerate the pie for 1 to 2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • For a more vibrant color, adjust the red food coloring drops to your preference.
  • Crushing peppermint candy canes finely helps distribute the mint flavor better throughout the pie.
  • This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days for best freshness.
  • Use a hand or stand mixer for whipping the cream for better texture.
